WW1 Victory Medal - partially erased

In GVF condition with a length of grubby original ribbon. Attempted erasure of regimental number, rank and regiment, but name still clearly visible as T. Hatch. It is still possible to see his rank as Pte, and his regiment as L'Pool R. (Liverpool Regiment). Only the regimental number is a mystery. Useful gap filler.
