Hello,
I found this ribbon bar while going through the shed looking for a group of patches I had and was wondering what the rarity of this is or value? I read that the Air Crew Europe medal was one of the most rare/expensive of all British campaign stars.. so had me wondering that this could be worth more than I thought. Like the title says it has the 1939-1945 star, Air Crew Europe star w/silver rosette and then Africa star w/silver rosette. Thanks.
Hi Grebo I would say that with the roseatte on the Africa star it ould be a nearly impossible combination. The North Africa clasp was issued to Naval personnel, and the 1st and 8th Army clasps for Amy personnel..... How would a member of air crew be eligable? Does anyone else know anything?
No, the North Africa clasp was also given to the R.A.F. etc. The rosette on the ACE shows service over Europe post June 6, 1944. So not impossible, and it might be possible to trace which squadrons served in North Africa and returned to Britain.
