I've had this medal in my possession for quite some time, but have never really done anything with it. The medal is the Cloud and Banner and was awarded by the Nationalist Chinese government under Chiang Kai-Shek. Many of these awards went to US servicemen in China with the bulk of those most likely going to aviators.
This piece is serial numbered on the reverse, though I am not aware of any source for identifying the recipient by the serial number.
As you can see, there is no provision for affixing the medal to the uniform. This is because the suspension ring is missing. I believe this grade was a neck award.
If anyone has a photo of a similar medal with details of the suspension ring, I would be very thankful.
Hope you enjoy the medal- they don't show up all that often.
