KASTAUFFER Posted June 17, 2017 Share #229 Posted June 17, 2017 Here's one I recently acquired named to a sailor who left the Navy with a bad conduct discharge in 1937! I like the look and age of the engraving, but the detail on the medal is not crisp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirk Posted April 4, 2019 Share #235 Posted April 4, 2019 Welcoming a engraved Type V to the family as part of a much larger Shanghai centric grouping to include his numbered and confirmed China Service Medal.....but found this interesting shot in his album as well: a armed Marine in uniform along the Soochow wearing what appears to be his Soochow Creek medal.

Brig Posted April 5, 2019 Share #236 Posted April 5, 2019 Never seen a Soochow with that short a ribbon...maybe a badge for one of the China matches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Tee Jay Posted November 11, 2023 Share #249 Posted November 11, 2023 Hi there, an interloper from the UK here. A friend of mine has been sorting through some family memorabilia and contacted me to say he had found a medal awarded to his late fathers uncle for ‘bravery and valour’ during his time in Shanghai with the Royal Welch Fusiliers, my old regiment. Interested to find out exactly what medal it was I asked him for some photos and he subsequently sent those attached. A little bit of research brought me to this site. As there seems to be more knowledge about the medal here than anywhere else, I’d love to know how it came into his great uncles possession. I know that a contingent of Royal Welch Fusiliers were sent to reinforce the IS Marines at the Creek so I’m wondering if it might have been a friendly exchange amongst brothers in arms? Alternatively, would they have been freely available at the shop in Shanghai where they were made or were they made exclusively for the US Marines? Thanks in anticipation for any information.

Certainly an original medal. Quite interesting to find one named to a soldier "across the pond". I'll let @Dirk chime in, as he has lapped me as our resident expert on these.
