You don't see a lot of China Incident Medals or Golden Kites from that conflict before April, 1940.  I have a Golden Kite 4th and 7th Class from 1938 as well as 2 war medal documents.  I can only speculate why they rushed to award a few 1937 and then the bulk in 1940.  My best guess is that they expected the war (which they did not really expect at first) to end quickly.  When it dragged on they dragged their feet. 

My wife would say that I need to sell some documents, it is just so hard!     If you got a list of what you are looking for, send me an email. 

 

I have send email for you~ Please have a check~

Hello Bro

I think Japanese medal do not have much copy item. Even some Japanese movies where group shoot usually use original Japanese medal wearing on actors.

But war in Taiwan medal I never collect before, because it is too expensive...

However, I think it is original one.

You can download his service record at the Brit national archives for a few bucks http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/D6941554

It might not be exciting, date of discharge and ships served on etc. but knowing the ships will give a clue to any sea battles or patrols he took part in.

Thank you so much Tony. I will have a check. That's amazing!!!

Thank you very much Paul.

I have bought a medal group in this afternoon.

But I do not know what is medal's Naming meaning?

Two medals have the same Naming which show: J. 42624 P. MACFARLANE. A. B. R. N.

I do not know what is that meaning. It is an officer or an Solider? How Can I find them information.

Thank you!!!

 I have some pictures.

One is a lieutenant colonel, who wears scared treasure medal order in 3

Other is a major, who wears scared treasure medal order in 5(could  be 6) andTaisho Enthronement Medal

This solider is an aid men whose rank is sergeant. His name is 原田 勇. Aid men is different with army-surgeons. The aid men main job could be transfer the wounded and nursing care.

There are two artillerymen' letter~  But their rank are different one is  Lance Corporal and the other is Private First Class

Thanks JapanX my friend tell me some skills about Japanese skills. 

I also have some other "China incident" letter~

Behoooooooooooold~~~

This solider（大橋一三） is naval air force (Lance Corporal) which is my favorite letter, because I can find the most letter of "China incident" were infantry and artillerymen. I still remember this letter was my friend who helped me bought in one Japanese antique shop in Japan.

This senior captain's name is 鵜鵜彌一郎 (It is really complex..., my Chinese friend help me to check it...) 

ground force infantry senior captain. The rank is not high which could be The army squadron?

Hi Jshorter

Did China Campaign medal  award in 1900-1901? Did the background of this medal is "Boxer movement ?

Cheer

I am a Japanese medals and award documents' collector. I have been becoming this aspect's collector about 3 years, I am interesting the Japanese medal design and the background of medal. There are wide range of stories and events just behind every medal and letter which should not be forgot.

I am a  pacifist, but I love history and collection. Thus, I will gradually show and research my collection's stories and background.

Therefore, I would like to show the "Chinese incident medal" to be first.

This solider's name is Jhong yuanwu(中原 悟) who is able-bodied.

I have find 12 " Medal of Chinese incident" award-time. I still confuse about why the award-time was efficient...

Just like this certificate which award-time was  03/05/ Showa Fourteen. It is diffident with the majority time 29/04/ Showa Fifteen.

If we compare with the two letters. The award-time was difference and the rank also difference.

This solider was a Combat medic, the rank was senior captain.
