Description

*British, WW2, The Burma Star*

Of the eight different campaign stars awarded during the Second World War two of the scarcer issues are the Pacific Star and the Burma Star. The Burma Star was a British campaign medal instituted in May 1945 to recognize service in the Burma Campaign (11 December 1941 – 2 September 1945) during World War II. It was awarded to British and Commonwealth forces who participated in operations on land, at sea, and in the air in Burma and surrounding regions.

Award Criteria
No one could receive both the Burma and Pacific Stars; a "Pacific" clasp was given if eligible for both. Gallantry awards or Mention in Dispatches automatically qualified a recipient. The medal allowed recipients to join the Burma Star Association.

Service Requirements
Navy & Merchant Navy: Service in the Bay of Bengal within specified limits, with additional rules for those joining after 7 March 1945.
Army & Air Force Ground Crew: Service in Burma or designated areas in India, China, Hong Kong, Malaya, and Sumatra.
Airborne Forces: Aircrew qualified after one operational sortie, or three landings in qualifying zones.

Design
A six-pointed yellow copper-zinc alloy star with King George VI's cypher and the inscription "THE BURMA STAR" on the obverse.
Ribbon: Blue (Navy), red (Army), and yellow (sun).
The Burma Star was worn in order of precedence with other campaign stars and could feature a clasp if awarded alongside the Pacific Star.

*Condition*
Good used condition. Please see photographs as part of the condition report.
