Jeff Mc William Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 (edited) Hi. I have also posted this on the USA thread in the hope that someone can identify it and tell me a bit more about it.The reverse is inscribed : "China 1900" "Military Order of the Dragon" with the recipient's name engraved in the centre. I have seen this in both British and USA medal groups,but there are never any further details given. Can anyone help please ?

JBFloyd Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Military Order of the Dragon, an association of officers who took part in the allied operations in China in 1900. Check Google Books for the full roll of members, constitution, etc: http://books.google.com/books?id=xxYZAAAAY...B4z-5w&dq=%22Military+order+of+the+dragon%22&ie=ISO-8859-1&output=htmlQuite rare, especially when complete. The ribbon often is tattered because of the weight of the pendant and, as a result, the pagoda top bar is often gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
