The Manchukuo Army Dispatch Badge was awarded to commemorate a unit’s service in Manchuria. During the 1930s, different regiments and companies made their own badges to motivate and inspire soldiers.
The Manchukuo Army Dispatch Badge Design
The obverse of this badge is decorated with cherry blossom branches (a symbol of Japan) and a gold Army star. The flags are the Japanese national flag and the Manchukuo national flag. The central kanji reads ‘Manchuria Dispatch Commemorative.’
Most likely, these badges were awarded in a simple paulownia wood case.
