arb Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Hi, At this archive they have something on Chinese, japanese and Siam awards to Germans... maybe it helps? http://www.gsta.spk-berlin.de/uploads/inventare/pdc.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 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.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
