Sap Moderator Australia 16845 Posts	Posted 03/30/2014 03:22 am Correct, it's a Japanese Red Cross medal. They are still awarded with exactly the same design. Older ones are silver; more recently, they've made them of aluminium. Similar medals have been posted here before: old thread, another old thread. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
