Description

The 1939-45 Star is a prestigious British military campaign medal that was awarded to individuals who served in the armed forces during World War II. The medal was established on September 8, 1945, and was designed to recognize the bravery, dedication, and sacrifice of those who served their country during this challenging time.

Eligibility

Eligibility for the medal was based on a specific set of criteria, including serving for at least six months in an operational theatre of war between September 3, 1939, and September 2, 1945. Personnel who were awarded another campaign medal for the same period of service were not eligible for the 1939-45 Star.

Design

The 1939-45 Star is a six-pointed star made of a copper-zinc alloy. It features a central design of the King George VI cypher, surrounded with the words "THE 1939-1945 STAR." The reverse side of the medal is plain, traditionally engraved with the recipient's name and service number.

Ribbon

The ribbon of the 1939-45 Star features three vertical stripes of dark blue, red, and light blue. The stripes represent the branches of the Imperial forces - the Naval and Merchant Forces, Armies, and Air Forces.
