The last medal on the bottom row could be an Iraqi medal known as the King Faisal War Medal dating from the 1920s-1930s. The ribbon was of three equal stripes: the two outer stripes were green in colour and the central stripe was white. Harris served in the RAF in India and Iraq so that would tie in.

The first two medal ribbons on the bottom row appear to me to be (left to right) the King George V Silver Jubilee 1935 then the King George VI Coronation Medal 1937. I don't see the ribbon that matches a RAF LSGC.

one had to serve in the ranks for a long time to qualify for LS&GC. I have known several Sqn Ldrs with the medal, however, one a Padre.
