Thanks, Rick, I wasn't sure that the one on the left was a 39-45 Star due to the fading.
The Device is there, you just can't see it due to my poor quality photo.
Peter, I wish I knew more. I know that some of his (highly censored) correspondences from Burma were on the net some years ago, but I don't have any of the unit information. I believe that he was an aircraftman and I know that his squadron was equipped with Hurricanes, not that that is very helpful. I know that he was somehow involved in the documentary Canada's War in Colour.
Thanks to all.
