beriwilliams Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 British Field Marshal Earl Kitchener visited Japan in 1909 and was presented with the badge of a Gensui (Marshal) as a souvenir. Some people erroneously state that Kitchener was an honorary Field Marshal in the Imperial Japanese Army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 ... as a souvenir. Yep, nice little trinket... In memory ... I wonder why? If you are right and he visited Japan in 1909, then this "souveniring" become even more puzzling. He was promoted to Field Marshal only in 1910 and went on a tour of the world (during which he visited Japan? No? Yes?) By the way, he was also a cavalier of Rising Sun Order with Paulownia Leaves. Some people erroneously state that Kitchener was an honorary Field Marshal in the Imperial Japanese Army. "Some people". Sounds mysterious ...
