Rod Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 (edited) I have been searching for a china medal (denkmuntze) with Gefechtsspance (clasp) of HOPHU.Today Detlev listed one with a HUOLU clasp. Naturally I missed it since I am NEVER quick enough .BUT tell me ... is HUOLU the same as HOPHU???Rod Edited March 7, 2008 by Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eitze Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 BUT tell me ... is HUOLU the same as HOPHU???RodHello Rod,these are two different bars.HOPHU was a mountain village with a nearby stronghold occupied by Boxers. The campaign dates are 28.12.1900 - 14.01.1901.HUOLU was named after fighting around the Huolu-Pass on 23. & 24.04.1901.It was the last action in China for those a campaign bar was granted.greetingseitze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Huolo was the main "set piece" battle for the German Expeditionary Force, and is the most common of the bars awarded to army personnel... relatively speaking, of course. Despite the numbers involved, casualties were minimal.Best I can do are tinies:http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?autocom=galler...=si&img=354 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
