No one Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Dear Gentlemen, Jcwater is right, this medal is the "Sichuan Xiong Kewu's medal / 四川熊克武的獎牌". It has nothing to do with WWI. Xiong Kewu (熊克武), December 26, 1885 - September 2, 1970 was a Sichuan warlord. 熊克武 - 维基百科，自由的百科全书 (wikipedia.org) Yours sincerely, No one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No one Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Dear Gentlemen, According to a friend of mine, I quote "That medal is not Xiong Kewu, it is a standard War Department medal, the lion of the Xiong Kewu medal is not the same as the flower on the back, but it is easy to get confused. I confused this a few years ago". It is Duan Quiri, chief of the Army, on July 2, 1913, who petitioned the President to approve the awarding of the Army Medal. On September 20, with the approval of the President the rule for awarding Army Medals were established. The Xiong Kewu medal: Yours sincerely, No one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
