1914-1920 Campaign Military Medal of Honor
1914-1920 Campaign Military Medal of Honor (“Campaign Medal / War Medal”). Japanese participation in World War I was commemorated by a Military Medal of Honor created on November 6, 1915 by Imperial Edict No. 203. However Japan stayed longer in World War I than anticipated as they also took part in the Siberian Intervention. So two very similar medals were issued, one for service in 1914-15 and the other for the period 1914-20. If a person earned both they could only wear the latter.
Original medal in overall good condition with matching wooden case with golden lettering.
