Those serving in theatres not qualifying for the 1914/1914-15 Star during WWI could still qualify for campaign medals such as the Indian General Service Medal.
My understanding of the 1/7, 2/7, 3/7 'doubling up" of TF battalions is that men wanted to join their local unit, so joining a 2nd or 3rd battalion of their local 7th TF battalion held more appeal than being in a "new" battalion.
