The France and Germany Star
Description
The France and Germany Star is awarded for operational service in France, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands or Germany between 6 June 1944 and 8 May 1945. The ribbon colours represent the national colours of the United Kingdom, France and the Netherlands.
Requirements
To apply for the France and Germany Star, the person must have:
- one day of operational service in the army in the above qualifying areas
- one day of operational service as ground crew in the RAF (Royal Air Force) in the above qualifying areas
- one operational sortie as aircrew in the RAF in the above qualifying areas
- one day afloat in operational areas of the North Sea in the Royal Navy (provided service was directly in support of land operations)
The Star is not awarded in addition to the Atlantic Star or the Air Crew Europe Star. The first Star earned will be awarded if a person qualifies for these three or two stars. If the France and Germany Star is awarded under these conditions, a Clasp will be awarded for service that qualifies for the Atlantic Star. When the ribbon alone is worn, a silver rose Emblem is attached to it to denote the award of this Clasp.
