The boys were awarded medals for their markmanship. Here there were competitions within the group and with other clubs. Some boys have uniforms covered with medals. The boy receicing the most medals was designated king. Most of the medals had red and white sashes as was used for sashes and plumes on the uniform. I'm not sure what the colors signify. There was quite a range of different types of these medals.
