For those who have not seen them before-
The top left (L within a wreath) is a Gun-laying proficiency badge circa 1903 to 1906 (but may have been worn up until 1910).
The top centre red Star is an Efficiency star circa 1906 to 1910, and was worn above the proficiency badges on the left arm.
The top right (L within a wreath) is a Gun-laying proficiency badge circa 1906 to 1910.
The centre badge I am not 100% sure, but believe it to be a Field Engineering proficiency badge circa 1903 to 1906 (but again may have been worn up until 1910)
The bottom left is a 1st Class Artillery Batteries or Companies proficiency badge circa 1906 to 1910.
The bottom centre crossed cannons was awarded for 3 years efficient service as Garrison Artillery or Submarine Miners 1903 to 1906. (But again may have been worn up until 1910)
The bottom right (G within a wreath) is a Gunnery proficiency badge circa 1906 to 1910. There was also a “Distinguished” Gunnery proficiency badge where the “G” was in gold instead of red.

Thankyou for the information.
