Dieter3 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 (edited) New arrival, Gold Order of Merit. Pretty decent, medal is nothing unusual, but this example is one that comes in a narrower case - I'm assuming this predates the most modern of awards in which they all appear to have the same case (wide) just to simplify things, and then merely altering the interior lower insert. Picture of a later order shown for comparison. Edited March 3, 2012 by Dieter3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul L Murphy Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Later this year I should be able to show an example of the current issue award since I have been advised by the Japanese Red Cross that I will be awarded the Gold Merit Cross in November. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations!! May I ask - how was it that you came to be awarded the Order? If it is private matter I certainly understand, no response needed! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul L Murphy Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Fundraising in the aftermath of the tsunami. When I was a student in Japan I lived about 60 Kms from the nuclear reactors in Fukushima so I took all of the devestation rather personally since I remember what a lovely place it was, and how lovely and friendly the people were.
