WWI China Victory Commemorative Medal (1918) — Republic of China — REPLICA
This listing is for a modern reproduction (replica) of the historic Republic of China “Victory Commemoration” medal dated Year 7 of the Republic (1918). A striking display piece that commemorates China’s role in World War I and honors the thousands of Chinese workers who supported the Allied war effort overseas.
Historical Background (WWI Chinese Labour Contribution)
During World War I, large numbers of Chinese laborers were recruited to support the Allied forces in Europe. Often called the Chinese Labour Corps, they performed essential and dangerous work—building roads and trenches, handling logistics, repairing equipment, and later clearing unexploded ordnance and recovering remains after the war. Their contribution came with heavy sacrifice, and it also reflected China’s difficult struggle for international recognition in the postwar era.
This medal is remembered today as a symbol of that contribution and the historical memory shared with countries such as France and others.
