    Five documents and a bar from the same soldier, who is he?


    Recommended Posts

    Posted

    I bought this little batch of diplomas that seem to belong to the same soldier, and I’d like to know his name and rank.

    It was decorated with the order of the sacred treasure of 4th class and the order of the rising sun (5th class?)

    He was also decorated with the Russo Japanese War Medal of 1904/1905, the Hiro Hito Coronation Medal and the Japan 2600 Years Medal

    With this diploma was the bar of medals. I am not sure that the bar is vintage because the ribbons look "very fresh" and not faded.... I would like to have Nick’s opinion on this medal bar, it seems to me that it is a reconstruction ?

    Hello Nick


    Once again thank you for this valuable help.... you are really unavoidable.

     I am glad to learn that the medal bar "could be !!" original

    Thanks

    This group of bars seems to be assembled later. After the Russo-Japanese War, until Emperor Showa was enthroned, there were no medals during WW1. In my opinion, it should be Emperor Taisho’s enthronement.
