INFORMATION: Medal for the Russo-Japanese War, 1904-1905. The Japanese had developed a tradition of referring to armed conflicts by years of engagement only, without mentioning the country they had fought against. Because of this, the obverse bar has the inscription 従軍記章 (종군기장) “War Medal”. At the top of the planchet is the Chrysanthemum representing the Emperor, there are Paulownia leaves and flowers at the bottom representing the Japanese Government, and two crossed flags represent the Army and Navy. The reverse has a crossed sprig of laurel 名誉樹葉 and palm frond 戦勝樹葉 with a shield in the center. The reverse inscription is 明治十十十七八年戦役 “Meiji 38-9 Year War Medal. 6 The ribbon is white, green and blue. It is possible that, the ribbon colors symbolize the Army (green) and Navy (blue). The Russo-Japanese War of 1904-05 erupted due to the conflicted interests of the 2 Empires, mainly over Korea and Manchuria. The War ended with decisive Japanese Victory, following the major Russian defeats in the battles of Port Arthur, Yalu River and Yellow Sea. The Medal was established in 1906 and was awarded to the participating troops of the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy in commemoration of the victory over Russia.
