Did the ribbon bar come with the cloth items? I stand to be corrected on this, but I believe that one of the original 1st Middlesex captured at Hong Kong would have been entitled to the Burma Star. Also, more likely to have been wearing metal titles.

Yes indeed, the medal ribbon bar came together with the patches and shoulder title.
I am trying to find out a bit more about the gent in question. I have a name and know that he served for 7 years in the Army and then post-war enlisted in the RAF.
