Approximately 65 medals awarded to the Tientsin Volunteers. Clasp not confirmed.

The officers and men of the Tientsin Volunteer Corps, who served at and about Tientsin during the months of June and July, 1900, initially declined to accept the medal for China 1900 because the clasp for the Relief of Peking was refused to them.
