Can anyone identify the medals in this photo?

The man wearing them was born in Islington in 1885 and moved to South Africa in the mid 1930's
Many thanks

Sorry but I really don't like all the nasty pop-ups that occurred when I clicked your link and I was re-directed to another website. Is it not possible to post your pic as an attachment ?
-
When I try to post it as an attachment I get the following message
Sorry! There is already an attachment with the same filename as the one you tried to upload. Please rename the file and try again.
I don't know how to rename the file as I am using an iPad

They aren't UK Military medals - because they should be worn on the left breast.

They are probably not military medals from any country

They aren't UK Military medals - because they should be worn on the left breast.
Unless they are being worn by the widow or widower, or by son/daughter etc, in which case they are worn on the Right chest, and then usually in a straight row.
But I do not recognise them as UK military medals either.
