The Orders and Medals of Japan and Associated States

[Richard LaTondre]

I recently acquired a handwritten xerox copy of what I believe to be James W. Peterson's original draft of OMSA Monograph No. 1, "Orders & Medals of Japan And Associated States". Of interest is what was not published in the current monograph. These notes cover additional information on medals and orders of Korea, Manchukuo, and Inner Mongolia. He also wrote a section on medals of "The Reorganized National Government of China' which includes the Order of United Glory, Order of the Brilliant Jade, Decoration to Japanese Comrades (so-called collaborator medal),and Peaceful National Foundation Commemorative Medal. There are also descriptions of some unidentified medals. As soon as I have time to examine these documents in greater detail I will publish the results.

The Documents came from the Yasinitsky Collection

Does he have any details as to the numbers awarded of the Order of United Glory ?

No. Just a description of the awards and grades.
