History This bar likely belonged to a mid-ranking naval officer, whose medals tell the story of a sailor who fought in the Far East and survived the war against Japan. The presence of the Anchor Medal, awarded in 1907, combined with the Cross of St Vladimir with swords, marks the career of a valiant officer of the Imperial Navy, who witnessed one of the most dramatic naval episodes in Russian history.
