Are HRH's medals of equal stature or military importance?

Some of those are silver, golden & diamond jubilee medals.

That's Geoffrey "Boy" Wellum DFC. His book " First Light" is a must read for anyone interested in the Battle of Britain.

The Yanks seem to go in for medals in a big way. Any officer of reasonable seniority has acres of ribbons on his chest and half way down his abdomen.
