Hi all

Can anyone point out what this badge is? I haven't been able to identify it yet.

Thanks to all

Ellis

Its a WWII star - 1939-45, Europe, France & Italy, Africa and so on. It says on the front what it is and its very easy to google the requirements to earn one - usually 6 months service in the relevant theatre of operations. Sadly, unless its to a South African, Indian or Aussie, it won't be named. A few 100 000 were issued but they are still getting pricey!
