Default Victorian VC winner cabinet photo value

Hi,
I recently found a victorian Cabinet photo of a very distinguesed gentleman in an 'evening' jacket wearing his medals. One of these is a VC, so I purchased it to do further research.

Based on the other medals (and bars), the period of the photo, the gentlemans approximate age and the photographic studio, I have managed to identify the rescipient.

Colonel Patrick RODDY VC.
Of Irish birth, he won his VC during the Indian Mutiny on 27th September 1858. He also served in the Abyssinian War and the Second Anglo-Afghan War. He died on 21 November 1895 and is buried on Jersey. His VC appears to be in a private collection.

I would like to see the photograph reunited with the VC, but dont know what monetary value to attach to it. Could some of the members please offer some advice.

I will post an 'edited' picture of the photo as well as a close up of the medals.

Regards
Steven
