Gordon Williamson Posted May 12, 2005 Author Share Posted May 12, 2005 (edited) The bird shown on the obverse is not an eagle but the legendary Golden Kite, perched on a shield with the Cherry Blossom emblem above. The Japanese characters of "Kanji" on the bar on the ribbon reads simply "War Medal" Edited May 12, 2005 by Gordon Williamson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
