    1. This is how typical Merit Medal looks "in real life"
    2. But the Order from the post # 80 has usual ("usual" for all Merit Medals reverse inscription)
    3. And indeed on the next page of the book (page 162) we see the reverse inscription of this Honorary Medal
    4. What really tangles the situation is the information from page 161 of Peterson book. Thats what he wrote about Honorary Membership Medal
    5. Another strangest thing is that chart completely ignores this super rare order (which I think could be the early version of the Honorary Merit Medal)
    6. I tell you one thing chap`s - I`ve never seen this yellow rosette ... Do you?
    7. Now that`s interesting! As we see the only difference between Merit Medal and Honorary Member Medal is the ribbon rosette
    8. Honorary Member Medal (a.k.a. Honorary Membership Medal, a.k.a. Honorary Order of Red Cross)
    9. The last but not the least Red Cross Society of Manchukuo awards
    10. Interesting that names of these award tokens are in complete correspondence with the names of Manchu medals on ribbons
    11. The Border Incident War Medal (please note that we are dealing here with "fat dove" variation )
