srcliff Valued Member United States 453 Posts	Posted 02/21/2018 6:27 pm I believe that generally a fringed flag means army and a plain one means navy, so I imagine this was probably given to members of both branches for serving during some conflict. Really just guessing. If someone can read the script it'll probably give a more solid answer. Report this Post to the Staff

The Japanese shield on the reverse is inscribed "Meiji Year 37-8" or 1904-1905, the date of the war. The attachment point for the ribbon has broken off. Report this Post to the Staff
