DRB 1643 Posted December 16, 2019 Posted December 16, 2019 Hi all, I hoping for some help please with the translation and identification of this medal. Thank you very much, Tom
JapanX Posted December 17, 2019 Posted December 17, 2019 That`s an interesting one. Jiandao (Korea) connection. Obverse June 1933 間島在住朝鮮人一同 - all korean residents of Jiandao Reverse 出征記念 - expedition commemoration 間島派遺軍 - Jiandao expeditionary army See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gando_massacre
DRB 1643 Posted December 17, 2019 Author Posted December 17, 2019 Thank you very much Nick, you are the man! Tom
DRB 1643 Posted December 17, 2019 Author Posted December 17, 2019 Thank you again for this translation Nick. After reading the article on the Jiandao/Gando massacre would it be correct to assume that this medal was given to participants of that battle? I sincerely appreciate your thoughts on this. Tom
JapanX Posted December 17, 2019 Posted December 17, 2019 I don`t think that it was intended only for participants of the 1920 incident. Looks like propogandical memorabilia Best, Nick
DRB 1643 Posted December 17, 2019 Author Posted December 17, 2019 It makes sense since the award date is 13 years later. Thank you again, Tom
