Thanks a lot anyhow! Could it be 亲爱精诚", as another member guessed? School motto of the famous Huangpu Military Academy in China? But the combination (HK music club) and any Military Academy doesn't make sense... BR, Chris

Gents, A friend asked me for my support for attached badge. Although I can read Japanese characters, I'm suffering in identifying this inscription. Based on my limited knowledge, I would assume that this badge could be kind of Sympathy Badge with respect to the Kuomintang (judging the design of the middle star). Could it be in relation to the Chinese Huangpu Military Academy / some Hongkong Association? I’d appreciate any feedback, which might help identify this badge. Thanks and br, Chris

Gents, Any recommendation on British Campaign Medals? I only know following sources: British Campaign Medals 1815-1914 from Peter Ducker (2008) British & Empire Campaign Medals - Volume 1 & 2 from Stephen-Philip Perkins. Are these books worth it? Any other (recent) sources? Thanks and regards, Chris

Russian China Commemorative Medal Boxer uprising
Gensui replied to Gensui's topic in Russia: Imperial
…for persons, who didn’t anticipate in any battles and for persons, who stayed in area, declared as war area- right? BR, Chris -
Gents, Does anybody know the award criteria of the Russian China Commemorative Medal for the so-called Boxer Uprising 1900? I understand, that there are two versions- silver (for combatants) and bronze for non-combatants. Background is attached (German) medal bar- the German China Commemorative Medal is for combatants, while the Russian version is for Non-combatants- how does this accompany? BR, Chris

Dear all, I’m currently evaluating several documents from the Archive of the British Foreign Office for my PhD. Two signature and the abbreviation are causing some headache to me, because I cannot read/understand them. Any ideas? a) [XX]. Oliver [?], D.I.D. 6.8.14 ? b) A C D [XXX] C. O S. [Chief of Staff?] 7/8/14 ? FYI- these two documents related to an information exchange regarding the Japanese assistance to the British Government during the war in Tsingtao. Thanks for your help and br, Chris
