In 1936 association decided that it needs another additional "lower-grade" (so to speak) merit badge in addition to this one https://asiamedals.info/threads/mer...tary-reservist-association.22984/#post-285447.
The new badge was called
功勞章 - Meritorious Service Badge
In fact the difference between 有功 /yūkō - merit/ and 功勞 /shinjita -meritorious service, merit/ is quite subtle.
Original case.
The main manufacturer of meritorious service badge was Naigai Medal Works https://asiamedals.info/threads/badges-watch-fobs-and-medals-made-by-naigai-medal-works.27922/.
