about 500 per annum during his reign however they dont appear that frequently in commerce. I assumd the award is much valued amongst its recipients.

If you can find the roll for Sierra Leone 98-99 cant be many quacks there. Then see who is entited to the others shouldnt be too difficult. Probably an assistant Surgeon for the first medal.
Best of luck

I think 2nd might be Virtute Militari 5th class. The bottom square badge is the officers long service ribbon , either st george or vlad. Cant work out no of years which is in Roman numerals.
