Another add-on. A small assembly of very interesting illustrations made by Pokryshkin himself. These original drawings and schemes were for the first time published only in 1999 inside posthumous compilation of Pokryshkin unpublished war-time notes and tutorials. See Покрышкин А.И. (1999) Тактика истребительной авиации. Новосибирский фонд А.И. Покрышкина, Новосибирск / Pokryshkin, A.I. (1999) Fighters Tactic. Novosibirsky fund of A.I. Pokryshkin, Novosibirsk. Page from Pokryshkin wartime notebook

The one the right is most likely Гришин "Grishin".

What is this medal?! When it was issued? We have definitive answer to the first one – it is full (regular) member medal (or commemorative token?!) of Manchukuo Red Cross. The second answer is more difficult … Personally I think that this medal was issued before or around 1938. Regards, Nick

國中 That is China

And well-known for full member medal of Chinese Red Cross has this name (quite naturally )

国州満 That is Manchukuo

The reverse inscriptions are practically identical. Both medals are full (regular) member medals (員會通普會字十紅) The only difference is the name of the country. Medal with the flag on reverse has this name

Details comparison (medal with Manchu flag vs. full member medal of Chinese Red Cross)
