Order of Wen-Hu
The Order of Wen-Hu was an award for military or naval service awarded by the Republic of China. It was issued in five classes. The badge showed a striped tiger in natural colours on a central medallion. During World War I, a large number of Chinese served with both the Chinese Labour Corps and the Royal [Army Medical Corps], and many British officers, particularly in those two corps, received the order. The majority were issued in February 1920.
