      Japan 1914-1920 War Medal.

      in Japan

      Posted

      Hi Nick,

      If you happen to read this post, can you provide the Kanji & pronunciation for this medal? I've been able to find the translations for the rest of my collection (with your help!!!), but this one stumps me a bit.

      Thanks again!

      Army Sharpshooting Proficiency Badge

      in Japan

      Posted

      Hi again, everyone!

      Just picked this one up today.

      • Army Bayonet Proficiency Badge, 1st. Class

      I haven't found too much history, info, etc. on the badge (only what was in Peterson's book and on Rich's website). What info can any of you provide? Also, is that the official name of the badge, or is it "Swordsmanship" as Peterson states? I know the reverse states something about 1st. class, but that's all I got.

      Nick - you know the drill! :lol:

      Thanks again everyone!

      Navy Proficiency Badges: How were they worn?

      in Japan

      Posted

      Hi Nick!

      Thanks for the info!! Every one that I've seen seems to be of some age, so I assume they were no longer awarded after a period of time (end of WWII?). Do we know if that is the case? Also, can you tell me what the reverse says? Finally, you know what the next two questions are going to be... :lol:

      Thanks a bunch again!

      Wound Badge Evolution

      in Japan

      Posted · Edited by jshorter

      Hi everyone,

      Here is mine that I just picked up. A Type II, Kosho version.

      Ok, this is for Nick (LOL!), but if I have read correctly, pronunciation for Military Wound Badge is: Shoigunjinsho Also, if you could be so kind, could you provide the Kanji for it as well... :cheeky:

      Thanks!

      Jason
