The medal on the right is for the Association for the Protection of Civilian and Military POWs.

Hello:

Yes, these all look OK. The prisoner of war medal is very interesting.

The medal with the black ribbon with yellow stripes is the Bavarian medal for the Jubilee of the 2nd Infantry Regiment "Kronprinz" and these were awarded around 1932. The medal should have a impressed inscription on the rim: "BAYRISCHESHAUPTMüNZAMT" (or something similar) if it was an officially-struck medal.

Best regards,
