odd little ribbon bar

[Ulsterman]

I saw an odd little ribbon bar the other day-navy blue ribbon @ 3cm long with another all white ribbon-same length together on a smaller, narrower bar.

Anybody know a medal with an all white ribbon?

The Polar medal, 1904 has a 1.25 plain white ribbon. Ninety one bars possible, from "Anartic 1902-04" to "Anartic 1958". Also an oddball because it was issued insilver and bronze and if a man won both he could wear both - two identical medals in two different medals. Quite a rare thing, all in all.

The British Red Cross War Medal was also white. An ex-policeman with an 1887/1897 Police Jubilee (although the ribbon should be 1.25. inches, not 1.5) and a Red Cross War Medal, perhaps? The latter was not an official medal, but I'm sure that didn't stop people from wearing them or the ribbon.
