China War Medal

There were three medals issued by the British Government during the 19th and 20th Centuries for service in a series of wars in China fought by British and Imperial troops between 5 July 1840 and 31 December 1900. They all shared the same reverse and trophy of arms, with a similar ribbon, 39mm crimson with deep yellow edges.[1][2][3]
