Brian Wolfe Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 Hello Everyone, While going through a drawer of military prints for an article I am working on I came across this one that I actually forgot I had. I believe it is a commemorative print showing victorious Japanese soldiers beside the Great Wall. On the back is a stamp which I think could have been a mark denoting the piece was authorised by the government, but that is only speculation on my part. On the front and under the picture is an embossed section with a descriptive message. Could someone please translate these two sections for me. It would be most appreciated. Since "finding" this print I have decided to frame it and hang it on the wall in the collection room, which was my intention several years back when I purchased it. Thanks for any assistance you can give me. Regards Brian

Brian Wolfe Posted March 18, 2020 Author Posted March 18, 2020 (edited) Thank you for your help, 1812 Overture. I am guessing that the print is much like the China Incident Medal in that it is a commemorative piece. I have framed the print and it now resides in the gallery that is the hallway between my office and the collection room. I've included of a photo. Again, many thanks for your assistance.
