Interesting, I'm going to have a look through all my Grandmas stuff, she has a lot of old stuff like that, bags and bags full, I might come across something like that.

That's very interesting shorty, I see the ribbon I have is very similar to what you're talking about. I have always wondered but never got around to checking what the colours on the ribbons mean.

Thanks, I Didn't know that. The medals my dad gave me were mixed up with two of My great Grandfathers WWI medals, so I picked out the ones I thought to be WWII.
Also should there also be a star medal for Pacific?

Thanks, I thought rather than a thread of photos why not start one of interesting memorabilia people might have.

Dave,
This photo is of my Uncle Bernard who went to Canada then off to England.Im not 100% sure if this is a RNZAF plane, but if it is it might suggest some of them did fly before leaving.
