Imperial Military Reservist Association Meritorious Service Badge/帝国在郷軍人會功勞章

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.
