Many thanks Peter and Ralph, seems the keyword is operational service, so the answer to my question must be no.

Peter, Many thanks for the reply, Singapore fell in Feb. `42, the chap has the 39/45 Star, also an oakleaf on the War Medal, which made me wonder about the Burma clasp. Would service at an operational airfield in Britain from 1940 count towards the 39/45 Star? If so then looking at the earlier reply the Burma clasp would be due?

Hello all, could anyone advise if a Flying Officer (doctor) with the Pacific Star would be entitled to the Burma clasp after being captured at Singapore and sent to the POW camps on the Burma railway? Thanks.

This one is certainly a copy. Bill.

Pretty sure this one is a copy. Bill.
