A brave soldier may have not gotten promoted to higher ranks due to a lack of the necessary administrative skills/command ability and therefore be a veteran soldier with with a lot of awards he could wear. Probably not on drill or fatigue duty but likely on special occasions and even on campaign. Some more valuable and/or difficult to wear awards may have
been sold and then possibly represented by Phalera much like modern ribbons are worn representing medals but until some evidence like a civic crown phalera is found it is speculation.
