jeffskea Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Good day, I have a Japanese-Russo War Medal that came with its original wooden box and a picture of the recipient, just wondering if anyone would be able to translate the words next to the photo, that would be very appreciated. Sincerely, Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul L Murphy Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Bad news for you, the photo does not go with the medal. Reading the inscription from the right to left it says "Born 12th October 1897. On 28th March 1918 photographed in 2nd Company 18th Infantry Regiment". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dieter3 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Regardless, the medal looks to be a nice specimen and the photo is neat too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
