Japan - China Incident War Medal 1937-1945 , with the usual Japanese style wearing device to the reverse of the ribbon.
Condition: Good Very Fine.
The medal was created on 27 July 1939, amended in 1944 and abolished in 1946. The mountains, clouds and waves are representative of northern China, central China and the Yellow Sea as the medal was awarded to Japanese military leaving for China which had been invaded and partly occupied by Japanese forces. As war was never declared, the Japanese referred to the large-scale hostilities with great delicacy as an ‘incident’.
