A long serving AAC E2

[Ulsterman]

Here's a snapshot of a chap named "Louis" in October, 1945. Going by his rank and lack of medals he had an uninteresting war. His medal ribbons I think are the good conduct and European campaign medal (no campaign stars!).

Yet he obviously went to the UK early-I count six 6 month overseas stripes and a reenlistment stripe (counts as 3 years service). But my question-if he's had 6 years (+) in the army by 1946 by his chevrons, how come threre's no American "squirrel defense" medal? Did they issue reenlistment stripes during the war?

I've had enough of "interesting wars" I could do with an "uninteresting one."
