Please help.  
I have been offered this British uniform.  It is supposed to be from WWII and it has these medal ribbons on it.  
can anyone tell me what each of the ribbons is for and whether they are WWII period?

Also are they in the correct order?

I believe the uniform is to someone who served in the Royal Ulster Rifles.

That first ribbon is most likely an OBE (Order of the British Empire) rather than a BEM.

I would agree, it looks more like a military grade OBE than a BEM ribbon from the width of the lines
