There are only 22 different types of repro medals in the wall.
They are just repeated over & over as can be seen.
Reproductions here are even worn by vets on parades,
best to keep the originals safely locked away.

It looks like a wedding photo,hence flowers on lapels and ribbons in background,so he could be a priest.
The uniforms to me look like pre WW1 (1900) Gloucestershire regiment,so British

The medals are also grossly out of order and all over the place.Still would look good if you sorted them out for display.

SVN,Vung Tau,Badcoe Club,Harold Holt Pool Tile
in Great Britain: Militaria: Badges, Uniforms & Equipment
Posted
This tile was given to me by a guy that had a cafe in Vung Tau in the 80's & 90's.
The pool was being demolished and the Vietnamese government
saved 3 tiles,these were placed in Vietnamese government marked envelopes.
All three tiles were taken by the guy that I got mine off,for return to Australia.
One tile was given to an Australian Government official visiting Vung Tau one time.
The second was given to a veteran that actually tiled the pool in Vietnam.
The third is now with me.I will donate it to our national museum.
The Peter Badcoe (VC winner) Club was an R&R spot for Australian
troops taking time out from the Task Force base at Nui Dat.
The pool was named the Harold Holt Memorial Pool.
Holt was a prime minister of Australia,having Aussie digger dark humor,
they named the pool after him,he drowned whilst swimming at a beach in Aussie.
