    This order was established October 18, 1950.

    Awarded to military personnel for outstanding conduct during wartime or in a state of emergency.

    Most likely case in post 1 came from 1960s/1970s time period.

    These are not japanese.

    This are chinese. 

    So called Hanja - chinese characters borrowed from chinese and incorporated into the korean language.
