The GSM Iraq was issued for service in Iraq between 10th December 1919 and 17th November 1920. The Iraqi revolt against the British, also known as the 1920 Iraqi Revolt or Great Iraqi Revolution, started in Baghdad in the summer of 1920 and spread to the largely tribal Shia regions of the middle and lower Euphrates
Hale, R	6307	Corporal	Biography Corporal Robert Hale was a regular army soldier in the 4thHussars before the outbreak of the First World War. He sailed from Dublin to France with the Regiment on the 16th of August 1914. Their arrival at Le Havre on the 18th did not go without incident. On the quay as they unloaded “C” Squadron horses stampeded and several were killed. Order was restored and the Regimental history notes “ Our French allies gave us a most enthusiastic and moving reception.” The Regiment were thrown straight into action to help stem the German advance. The first contact was made on the 24th of August in front of Baisieux. ‘A’ and ‘B’ Squadrons came under intense rifle and machine gun fire from the village. The Regiment fought back but suffered 35 casualties and had 45 horses killed and wounded. “All the wounded who were unable to ride had to be left on the ground there being no means of conveying them and they fell into the hands of the enemy.” (Regimental History) Corporal Hale survived this baptism of fire and amazingly he is not listed among the 468 officers and men who were to be wounded in the years to come. Nor is he among the 133 killed or in the list of those who served continuously with the Regiment.

Howell, P		Brigadier General	Biography Brigadier-General Philip Howell, CMG was a senior British Army staff officer during the First World War. He was, successively, Brigadier General, General Staff (BGGS) to the Cavalry Corps and then to X Corps. In October 1915 he was posted as BGGS to the British Salonika Army before appointment as BGGS and second-in-command to II Corps, then forming part of the Fifth Army at the Battle of Somme in 1916. At the outbreak of war with Germany in 1914, the 4th Hussars was mobilized as part of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) making its way to Dublin for embarkation to France. The regiment travelled with its horses aboard the SS Atlantus , arriving in Le Havre on 15 August 1914. The 4th Hussars formed part of the 3rd Cavalry Brigade commanded by Brigadier General Hubert Gough, and quickly became embroiled in the Battle and subsequent Retreat from Mons. During these actions the commanding officer, Lieutenant Colonel Ian Hogg, died from wounds received in a rear-guard action on 1 September. Howell assumed command of the 4th Hussars through the Battle of Le Cateau, until relieved by the appointment of Lieutenant Colonel Tom Bridges on 27 September. However, Bridges appointment lasted three days, before he was promoted Brigadier General and sent to become chief military adviser to the King of Belgium. Howell resumed command of the 4th Hussars, being promoted Lieutenant Colonel on 18 October. He led the 4th Hussars throughout the remainder of the advance of First Battle of Marne, and then in the following ten months through the frontline carnage of the First Battle of Ypres, Hill 60, and Neuve Chappelle. Howell was respected by his men as a gallant and able regimental commander, and these were quoted as saying that “if the Colonel was there, everything was alright.” On one occasion during the battle of Ypres, when his regiment were ordered to take a tactically useless obstacle (a stable block) that had been retaken several times at considerable human cost, Howell was able to countermand on the pretext that as the order was being made the telephone line had been cut. Afterward he stated that “a deaf ear at the telephone may be as useful as a blind eye at the telescope”. He was appointed a Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George in February 1915 for “meritorious service during the war” and had by this stage of the war been mentioned in despatches no less than four times. Howell was killed in action at Authuille by shrapnel on 7 October 1916, after making a personal reconnaissance of the frontline near Thiepval during the later Somme offensives. He was mentioned in despatches six times, and made a Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George in 1915 for “meritorious service”.
