| Notes | Chinese Order of the Striped Tiger - the Order of Wen-Hu (3rd class) Provenance not known. This order of the Republic of China was instituted in 1912 by President Yuan Shih Kai and was awarded for those who have performed deeds of merit in the naval or military service. It was divided into nine classes. The 3rd class badge was worn at the neck. The rays on th badge are in the five colours of the Chinese Republic (formed 1911)- red for the Han Chinese, yellow for the Manchus, blue for the Mongols, white for the Muslim Chinese and black for the Tibetans. The medal was awarded until 1928 when the Beijing Government was overhtrown by the Kuo Min Tang (nationalist) party. During World War one a number of awards were made to British officers, especially to those serving with the Chinese Labour Corps, or with the Royal Army Medical Corps. China had entered the war in 1917, and a considerable number of Chinese served with the British Labour Corps or with the Royal Army Medical Corps. During WW1 this order was issued in five classes. The 3rd Class order was generally issued for the rank of Colonel or Lieut. Colonel. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
