WW2 British The Burma Star With Pacific Bar Miniature Medal

The WW2 British The Burma Star With Pacific Bar Miniature Medal is a scaled reproduction of the campaign medal awarded to British and Commonwealth personnel for service during the Burma Campaign in the Second World War. The Burma Star was instituted in 1945 to recognize military operations conducted in the Burma theatre between 11 December 1941 and 2 September 1945. The miniature medal features a bronze six-pointed star bearing the Royal Cypher of King George VI at the center, surrounded by a scroll inscribed “The Burma Star.” The attached ribbon displays dark blue, red, and orange stripes, representing the British forces, Commonwealth Army, and the sun. The included Pacific Bar signifies additional service in the Pacific campaign, highlighting qualifying operations within that area. Miniature medals such as this were customarily worn on mess dress or for less formal occasions, providing a representative display of full-size honors earned by the recipient.
