What is the significance of what looks like a piece of single coloured medal ribbon on the Colonel's right breast? In mourning for a relation KIA?

Royal Humane Society Medal? I believe it's permitted in uniform if worn on the right.

These Medals are:
a. St John of Jerusalem Life Saving Medal (Gold, Silver, Bronze).
b. Stanhope Gold Medal.
c. Royal Humane Society’s Silver Medal.
d. Royal Humane Society’s Bronze Medal.
e. Medal of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (Gold, Silver,
Bronze).
