Uncategorised Kaiserlich Chinesische Erinnerungs Medaille

[arb]

While researching the career of an officer who served in the East Asian Expedition Corps from 1901-1904, I found an entry in the 1904 Militär Wochenblatt that shows him receiving the "kaiserlich chinesische Erinnerungs Medaille 1st class" after he returned home. (Imperial Chinese Commemorative Medal)

Obviously, this medal does not appear in the Ranglisten and I am wondering if any member can provide an image of this medal or any details on it.

Thanks,

Andy

Hi,

At this archive they have something on Chinese, japanese and Siam awards to Germans... maybe it helps?

Page 45 has quite a bit of detail, but if you put "orden" in the search part there is a bit more to dig out....

[Chris Boonzaier]

Page 9 has all the documents of Chinese awards to Prussians

[Chris Boonzaier]

Page 12, like 45 has lots of names as well

Sorry, just adding as I scan through... last item on page 59, Prussian officers attached to french expeditions in Algeria, Mexico, Japan etc. etc sounds interesting

I dont know how many names there would be on total, but that would be a damned fine medal roll!!

Indeed! Some of them are listed there, but there must be many more in the full files..
