Laurence Strong Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 (edited) The Japanese Red Cross medal was established on 21 June 1988, from what I can gather they were issued for major conflicts and there was a male and a female version.Here's what I have at the momment. What else is out there? What do you have?Can some one explaine the different levels of the order?This is a Womans Silver medal for the 1904-05 Sino Russo War.

SWE Erik Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 I forgot to say that it is unmarked.Here is another one from my collection that is marked. Made of what looks to be silver. I will only post a picture of the mark since the rest of the medal looks like any other red cross medal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
