I don't know exactly when the photo was taken, but I would hazard a guess that it was taken late twenties - mid thirties judging by his medals.
Thank

The award before the DSO is the British Order of St Michael & St George and the darker one below is the Russian Order of St Anne with Swords (it is a Red Cross) The ribbon for that one would be red with narrow yellow edge stripes
