seniority from left to right are-

Prussian Wilhelm I Centenary Medal
The original owner of this medal bar
was a combatant veteran of the Boxer Rebellion. He had been in regular
service in the Prussian army or German navy since at least 1897. This
combination of two medals was very common amongst other ranks who served in
China.
