Well, Col. Pitspitr, it relates to medals, the Victorian-era military and shooting ... so it is definitily appropriate for the Barracks and also this thread, in my view ....
To carry the theme a bit further, I had occasion a year or so ago to do some research in connection with the remains of a private-purchase Martini-Henry rifle (i.e. military configuration, but not military issue .... which I believe is now being restored) marked "R. McVittie" that turned up in Canada.
That research led to some interesting information regarding Robert McVittie (1839-1918), nicknamed "Bob the Shot", who was described at one time as "the best shot in the British Empire." He served as a Private in the "Langholm Rifle Volunteers" (one of the Companies of of the 1st Dumfries Rifle Volunteer Corps, which in 1881 became the "Volunteer Battalion" of The Royal Scots Fusiliers). In 1888 he emigrated to Canada, where he became a Staff Sergeant in the 10th Royal Grenadiers of Canada and continued to compete internationally ....
I believe that this photograph was taken before he came to Canada - talk about medals:
