Gensui Posted September 2 Gents, Does anybody know the award criteria of the Russian China Commemorative Medal for the so-called Boxer Uprising 1900? I understand, that there are two versions- silver (for combatants) and bronze for non-combatants. Background is attached (German) medal bar- the German China Commemorative Medal is for combatants, while the Russian version is for Non-combatants- how does this accompany?

Chris, bronze version wasn't issued exclusively for combtants. Bronze - für alle Teilnehmer an den kriegerischen Ereignissen in Ostasien (Bekämpfung des Boxeraufstandes vom 30. Mai 1900 bis 29. Juni 1901), sowie auch für die bei der Kranken- und Verwundetenpflege in dem Kriegsgebieten tätig gewesenen Personen beider Geschlechter. Die Denkmünze aus Stahl erhielten alle Personen, welche an den Vorbereitungen zur Aufstellung und Entsendung der deutschen Streitkräfte beteiligt waren, ebenso die Besatzungen der Transportschiffe deutscher Reedereien von Truppen- und Kriegsbedarf nach und von Ostasien.

Light bronze - лицам, не участвовавшим в боях, а равно и находившимся в местностях, объявленных на военном положении. Original regulation.

Gensui Posted September 3 …for persons, who didn’t anticipate in any battles and for persons, who stayed in area, declared as war area- right? BR, Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JapanX Posted September 3 Russian bronze. For those who did not participate in the battles, as well as for those who were in areas where martial law was declared. German bronze. For all participant of war in East Asia. So both bronze medals perfectly fit this medal bar. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
