JapanX Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 That`s an interesting one. Jiandao (Korea) connection.

DRB 1643 Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share 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.

JapanX Posted December 17, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRB 1643 Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 It makes sense since the award date is 13 years later. Thank you again, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
