Japan WWI Commemorative Medal for the Great War 1914 1918 (for the Campaigns of Tsing Tao & the Mediterranean Sea) Boxed

JAPAN: Commemorative Medal for the Great War 
1914-1918.
In its rare box of issue.
The medal was awarded to the men of the Anglo-
Japanese force that captured the German Colony 
of Tsing-Tao and the German Pacific Islands in 
1914 to 1915. 
It was also awarded to the crews of the Japanese 
Fleet (the 2nd Special Squadron consisted of the 
Cruiser Akashi and 8 destroyers under Admiral 
Sato Kozo) that based in Malta participated in 
the naval operations in the Mediterranean Sea 
(1917 - 1918).
The obverse of this medal is identical to the 
Medal for the Siberian Intervention 1918-1920. 
The difference lies on the reverse side where the 
WW1 Medal has a single vertical line of Japanese 
characters (instead of 2) and on the fact that it is 
a lot rarer.
