NOTE ; I have relisted this lot of medals due to a message advising me that these are most likely copies. Apparently the medal forums covering such topics chat about the lettering & numbering (rounded “3″, as compared to flat topped “3″,) styles, blemishes (dot or no dot) between the V and B of the obverse, etc, etc. However, they also comment that the copy BWM`s , in bronze, has the suspension loop moulded into the medal. This lot to be auctioned here, shows the hole for the pin for attachment of the suspension loop! ? And they show age….. The pictures tell more than I can so please spend some time to view properly. If anything else, they would make good gap fillers for any collection………………. PAIR of BRONZE or copper? WW1 British War Medals (BWM) to the Chinese Labour Corps CHINESE. These units (one from many countries, India, Burma, etc) were used during ww1 to build roads, for loading ships, and often for the hard menial work of trench construction, etc so saving the allies manpower for other uses. Unfortunately missing the suspension bars from both of these… Never the less, the Bronze WW1 BWM`s are harder to find than the silver version`s due to them being scrapped for their copper content, in quantity, between the World Wars.. They have no material value unlike the silver versions but this still does not belittle the valuable service that these units contributed to the 1914/18 Great war. These came from a estate sale of a medal collector, some years ago….. The item “WW1 MEDALS, BWM. BRONZE. CHINESE LABOUR CORPS. CONSECUTIVELY NUMBERED. REPLICAS” is in sale since Saturday, March 11, 2017. This item is in the category “Collectables\Militaria\1914 – 1918 (WWI)”. The seller is “glengellan” and is located in Aspley, QLD.

Rare WW1 Bronze British War Medal Chinese Labour Corps Casualty

I have been clearing a few items from my fathers estate, this medal I remember playing with as a child in the early 1970′s, according to my father he was given the medal as a boy in London from a Chinese family who lived nearby and who worked in the docks area, they told him the recipient of the medal had died in the first world war, my brother was able to check with the Commonwealth war graves people and download a copy of the certificate commemorating his death. The medal which comes in the rarer bronze metal is marked around the rim with: No 40732 Chinese L. C, the certificate shows that this relates to Labourer Lo Hai Ch’lng 40732 100. Coy Chinese Labour Corps who died on 22 November 1917 and who is remembered with honour at the Arques-La-Bataille British cemetery. To go with the medal is a small brass trench art shell case pot, this is marked to the base Aug 1918 with other numbers and symbols, the outside of the pot is very faintly decorated (and hard to photograph) with two fish and two flower pots and running from top to bottom are two lines of Chinese characters, obviously I havent the first clue what this means but I would like to think that it is in celebration of Lo Hai Ch’lng’s life. The medal is very dirty and the ribbon is very rough, there is a bump on the edge near the number, the shell case is in good condition but faintly decorated as previously stated, this stands 3.5 inches high. The item “Rare WW1 Bronze British War Medal Chinese Labour Corps Casualty” is in sale since Sunday, December 18, 2016. This item is in the category “Collectables\Militaria\World War I (1914-1918)\Medals/ Ribbons”. The seller is “themagpie” and is located in suffolk. This item can be shipped worldwide.
