Which Medals?

[MJBatten]

Hi All,

I am trying to figure out who this family is in my family photos and the only clue that may help is the man's medals. Does anybody recognise them?

Many thanks,

MJ

The medals will need to be enlarged. Would his shirt collar give an indication of when the photograph was taken?

[MJBatten]

This is the biggest I can get it...

This is the full photo. I am guessing Edwardian?

Edwardian ? Possibly a former Soldier in the Anglo-Boer War? Or possibly still a Soldier when married?

The suspenders on both (the part from which the medal itself is suspended) is distinctive and is not the straight bar suspender of the Boer war medals (or indeed the Great War medals).

The South Africa 1880 medal may be a contender for the one on the outside?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Africa_Medal_(1880)

Late Victorian era to Edwardian?

I thought that but the ribbon dosen't match, maybe the British South Africa Company's medal which was issued to British troops, but again the ribbon ?.Also thinking the inner medal might be the Indian General Service Medal or the India medal, but as usual i could be wrong.

The bar design severely limits the options.

The closest estimate I have is (left to right as we look)
Distinguished Conduct Medal
Conspicuous Gallantry Medal
India General Service Medal (but should it have at least one clasp)?
