Pacific Star

Awarded for operational service in the Pacific between 8 December 1941 and 2 September 1945, and for certain specified service in China, Hong Kong, Malaya and Sumatra. The centre of the ribbon is dark green (jungle) with a central yellow stripe (beaches); the outer edges are wide stripes of red (Army) with narrow stripes of dark blue and light blue (Navy and Air Force). A ‘Burma’ clasp could be awarded with this medal. Personnel qualifying for both the Pacific and Burma Stars were awarded the first star but only a clasp in respect of the second. Note: the full-size medal is struck in a gold-tone finish; the miniature is bronze-tone, matching original wartime issue conventions. Images are a representation only – actual medals may vary slightly in colour, material finish or design due to manufacturing. Turnaround: approximately 7-14 days.
