        Guy, I tend to think this '中國' does not refer to China; it refers to the central area of Japan. The Japanese newspaper 中國新聞社was founded in 1892.

        Although there is a China News Service with the same kanji (established in 1952), the kanji is usually the modernized form. And the Chinese reads 中国新闻社.

        So this is probably the Japanese newspaper Chugoku Shimbun Co. Ltd.

          Rich,



          Thank you very much for that information; it explains why the medal has a Japanese-style triangular ribbon with hook-and-eyelet closure.
