us57 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I am looking for information on the following FRANCE 1914-1918 Medal with Chinese inscription. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Ross Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Are you sure this is Chinese? Perhaps it's from France's First war ally, Japan? According to Taprell Dorling's 'Ribbons and Medals' Japan issued a 'War With Germany 1914-18' medal, but no image is given. Apparently (according to Wikipedia) " ... tentative plans were made to send an expeditionary force of between 100,000 and 500,000 men to France ... " but these plans came to nothing. Wikipedia sources "Harries, Meirion; Susie Harries (1994). 'Soldiers of the Sun: The Rise and Fall of the Imperial Japanese Army.' New York: Random House. ISBN 0-679-75303-6" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 (edited) Dear Gentlemen, I just realized that "Memorial" is in Japanese, not Chinese (Korean / Vietnamese). Yours sincerely, No one Edited February 13, 2023 by No one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
