Riley1965 Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Is that the correct ribbon for the Red Cross? I seem to remember it haveing more red than white. Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulsterman Posted January 24, 2007 Author Share Posted January 24, 2007 (edited) The third ribbon seems to match the Manchukoan Red Cross commemorative medal in Peterson's Japan book (OMSA monograph #1-going into version #3 nowadays.)However, given the deafening silence from Paul, Jeff and Gordon I suspect this is a put together bar and not some minor officials (which is what I had supposed).Any ideas as to #1 is at all? Anyone? Edited January 24, 2007 by Ulsterman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Dane Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 (edited) No.2 is the Taisho Enthronement Medal (Japan) and no. 3 is the Enthronement Commemorative Medal (Manchuko).The bar is shown upside down. That would also make a foreign award (Italian Crown Order?) more plausible as the last of the three./Mike Edited January 24, 2007 by Great Dane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulsterman Posted January 24, 2007 Author Share Posted January 24, 2007 (edited) could #3 (or #1 depending upon which way you look) be Chinese?Thanks Edited January 24, 2007 by Ulsterman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An unusual combination of awards and it would suggest that it was to a native Manchurian rather than a Japanese, since otherwise the Taisho Enthronement would have been first.
