Can Someone look up my Grandad on the WW2 Medal Index

On further looking Lee, I don't think the France & Germany Star is likely either.

Neither the Royal Sussex nor the Royal West Kent Regt appears to have battle honours for NW Europe 1944-45. Tends to suggest they weren't there.

Africa, Burma are possibles though, along with Italy.

I was going to suggest the one you have labelled France and Germany could be Italy.

My Dad has the Africa, Burma and Italy stars.

Modified - on the other hand, there is a report on
www.bbc.co.uk/ww2peopleswar/stories/93/a2436293.shtml
from a soldier in the 4th Battalion, Royal Sussex Regiment, No 6402232 about getting away from Dunkirk.

Yes I put nearly all the ribbons on so others can compare them on there photos.
I think that my grandad would have received the Burma, Africa The Europe one and Defence
not so sure about.

Service at Dunkirk didn't qualify for the France and Germany Star.

The Star was "For operational service in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, or Germany, between 6 June 1944 and 8 May 1945. "

Thanks for clarifying that, Neil.

That makes it likely that it's the Italy star, then.
