Medal Atlantic Star 1939 - 1945

The Atlantic Star is an original British World War II campaign medal, awarded to military personnel who served in the Atlantic theatre between 1939 and 1945. It was primarily granted to Royal Navy sailors, merchant navy crews, and Royal Air Force members involved in the vital struggle against German U-boats and naval forces. The medal is made from bronze-colored metal in the classic six-pointed star shape and bears the cipher of King George VI. Its ribbon features blue, white, and green stripes, representing the Atlantic Ocean, the waves, and the sky. This is a genuine piece of Allied wartime history and a valuable item for collectors of WWII military decorations.
