Yun-Hwei Order

[Kriegsmarine Admiral]

Hello,

 

Can someone tell me more about the Chinese Yun (or Yon)-Hwei Order? What were the classes of this order? I want to know if the 4th class was the Officer's Cross.

 

Thanks

Dear Gentlemen,

 

Do you speak of this : Medal, Republic of China, Order of Yon-Hwei, Class III | National Air and Space Museum

 

It's not an order, it's the "Army, Navy and Air Force Medal (translation of the Chinese name) or Medal of Armed Forces" :

 

 

Note: there is no such a rank as "Officer's Cross" for Chinese order, usually 9 classes (3x3).

 

If something else, write the name in Chinese or post a picture.

 

Yours sincerely,

No one

Hello, 

 

After checking the topic you linked, it would seem that the order in question is not the "Army, Navy and Air Force Medal". I also found the Museum link you provided, but as explained on page 3 of the topic you linked, they mixed up the names of the awards.

 

I have this document that lists this award (Yun-Hwei Order) for a German admiral. It says he received the 4th class, that's why I asked if it is perhaps the Officer's Cross. I believe the order in question is the one in the second photo below (number 22). Is that right?

It says this is the Yon-Hwei Order III. Class (China).

I want to know more about this order and it's classes.

Dear Gentlemen,

 

With a picture it's much easier.

It's the "Order of the Cloud and Banner 3rd class" / Yún Huī Order / "雲麾勲章 / Yún Huī Xūnzhāng".

Hello,

 

Do you perhaps also have the list of recipients of the Order of the Cloud and Banner?

 

Hans-Georg von Friedeburg was awarded the 4th Class of this order. The award date mentioned in German sources is 01 May 1937.

 

Can you find his name and confirm the class and award date?

 

Thanks

Dear Kriegsmarine Admiral,

 

"Do you perhaps also have the list of recipients of the Order of the Cloud and Banner?"

 

Yes, 97 were awarded January 1, 1937, all to Chinese. None May 1, 1937.

 

Hundreds on November 12, 1936 and one November 21, 1936, all again to Chinese.

 

The first awarded to foreigners where, in 1942, to three Soviet advisers.

 

Between 1936 and 1949, 1554 4th class were attributed.

 

The name of Hans-Georg von Friedeburg is 漢斯-格奧爾格·馮·弗里德堡 in Chinese:
