WW2 British Full-Size Medal Group of Five – 1939–45 Star, Atlantic Star, Burma Star (Pacific Clasp), Italy Star & War Medal 1939–45 – Mounted as Worn
A very appealing full-size Second World War medal group of five, mounted as worn, consisting of:
- The 1939–45 Star
- The Atlantic Star
- The Burma Star with Pacific clasp
- The Italy Star
- The War Medal 1939–45
This is a highly attractive and decidedly naval combination, reflecting wide-ranging service across several major theatres. Entitlement to both the Atlantic Star and the Burma Star with Pacific clasp strongly suggests Royal Navy or Royal Marines service on oceanic escort routes, Far Eastern operations, or carrier and cruiser deployments in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. The addition of the Italy Star further indicates participation in Mediterranean operations—often naval gunfire support, convoy escorting to Sicily and Salerno, or Adriatic patrol work.
The presence of the Pacific clasp on the Burma Star is particularly desirable, marking operational service which moved beyond the Bay of Bengal into the wider Pacific theatre. Groups featuring both the Atlantic and Pacific operational areas are always attractive, representing long and varied naval deployments through the most demanding maritime campaigns of the war.
Mounted on a single bar in a neat as-worn configuration, this group has excellent display presence and tells a clear story of an experienced sailor or Royal Marine who served from the Atlantic approaches to the Far East.
A strong and evocative WW2 naval medal group covering multiple major theatres of war.
