Dear Gentlemen,
Can you guess what connection exists between Miss M. Dunkley and General De Gaule?
It's a date, June 18, 1940.
That day General De Gaule gave is famous speech "L'Appel du 18 juin / The Appeal of 18 June" after his arrival in London in 1940 following the Battle of France.
Broadcasted to France by the radio services of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). Appeal of 18 June - Wikipedia
So what about Miss M. Dunkley? Unfortunatly I know nothing about her. But that day she was awarded the "Red Cross First Aid Proficiency Badge" #017497.
I found a Mrs R. Dunkley in Northampton with the British Red Cross, but it was just when the pandemic started.
I was confused about how to contact this person, so I didn't.

Dear TracA,
"Perhaps the parentheses were used to signify that although the award was made by the Japan mint, it was done so for a "foreign" country, so-to-speak."
It is an interesting hypothesis that didn't cross my mind.

Dear TracA,
Unless it's for the 'National Border Incident War Medal', they appear to be generic.
Have you noticed that my wrapper has parentheses or brackets, whereas the one posted by Dieter3 doesn't?
What are those wrappers? There is a new enigma that needs to be solved.

Dear Gentlemen,
A Canadian WWII miniature ribbon bar. I think it is modern rather than contemporary.
Is the ribbon of the 1939~1945 Star missing?

Dear Farkas,
Thank you for answering the "Where? Why? How?". It's alright, don't worry. I appreciate your honesty.
The web seems to work in mysterious way!
Dear TracA,
Unfortunately, no halmark on the two button rosettes.
"quite frankly more and more I get the feeling that it’s growing quite out of control."
It is a well-known saying that 'collectors are never reasonable'. We all find ourselves in the same predicament.
How many times did I think "it's the last one", then ...

Dear Gentlemen,
"I venture to guess that you have a very interesting and beautiful collection."
I find yours to be more interesting and beautiful than mine.
I limit myself to collecting from 8th through 4th class, occasionally 3rd class (only three), and never above.
To continue with two "Order of the Sacred Treasure" with the "ナ / na" hallmark.
