The one Japanese award that is heavy reproduced. Instituted June 1944, only a few were awarded before the end of the war and the allied occupation forces ordered remaining stocks destroyed so originals are virtually unobtainable.

This is an accurate copy. Some copies omit the reverse pattern, being plain and without any design.

      And he wonders just in passing, how he ended up this way

      By Michael Johnson · Posted

      Two years down the line.   My mother-in-law passed away this summer, as did one of her sisters-in-law.   My exhibition opened, and we had a marvellous speakers' night with four Peacekeeping veterans, including a Meritorious Service Medal winner.  But Covid closed it down in March 2020, and while still there it hasn't reopened.

      Sounds great other than the Orange & Mango squash only because I prefer cran-pomegranate juice.

      At work the standard indian tea such as PG tips is referred to as chimp tea. This goes back to the days when we had a Spanish girl working for us whose command of the English language was extremely limited. One lunch she said she was going to the shop could she get anything. I asked if she could get a pack of tea bags. She returned with some disgusting herbal concoction. I tried to explain what was required but without success. I then remembered PG tips had a picture of a chimpanzee on the packe

      When I read Lapsang Souchong i decided to post something about these Tea . Many years ago I dont  know about Lapsang until I read James Michener book Centennial and the description of the savour of the Lapasang as a mix of tar and salt & smoked made me proof . It was exact ! and i liked it since then .
