Super!

Exellent photo of machin gunner with two badges: light machin guns + Swordsmanship/Bayonet Skills Badge

Sure thing Rich Walt Disney Pictures + director of well acclaimed masterpiece Jack-Jack Attack http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack-Jack_Attack Another "must see"

Definitely (http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/51191-order-of-rising-sun-vintage-2003/ post #20) ;)

Artists

See for yourself

But left side is a mess!!! Instead of (most likely 2nd class) breast star of chinese order of Common Glory We see breast star of order of rising sun!!!

Right side is correct

And first mistake! Instead of this "incident" We see "China incident" medal!

Medal bar + 3rd class rising sun

Looks nice? Or is it?! First of all (when I last time checked) if our General indeed wears 2nd class Rising Sun order then his breast star should be on the right side (not left one). It`s obvious that creators of this flick hired professional consultant ... who unfortunately didn`t know much about japanese oders and medals ... This photo was used for recreation of awards of Tadamichi Kuribayashi

Now let`s examine "chest" of its main character - General Tadamichi Kuribayashi

I am sure that everybody in this section is familiar with this film

Under different light

"FROM His Majesty GEORGE V King of THE UNITED KINGDOM F GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND TO FIELD MARSHAL SIR EDMUND HYNMAN ALLENBY G.C.B. G.C.M.G. 1919"

And of course Marshal Baton (he got it in 1919)

Now two "tops" First will be Collar of Most Distinguished Order of St Michael and St George
