To expand on the details given in Coffman Starter's post, the medals in the picture which may be unfamiliar to many of us are the Companion's Badge of the New Zealand Order of Merit (worn around the neck) which replaced various British orders when New Zealand adopted its own system in 1996, and the Queen's Service Order (seen between Sqn Ldr Munro's DSO and DFC) which came in in 1975 and is restricted to 30 new members of the order per annum.
