I have discovered that my deceased father in law
Walter Lane born March 14 1925 in Boston, Lincs
was awarded the Italy Star with an oak leaf during WW2
How do I find out exactly when, where & why he was awarded this medal please

Maybe if you posted this on the armed Service Board you'd get a helpful answer from someone who knows about decorations and citations.
Perhaps also mentioing in the subject line of the post that it is about that a decoration etc would help get the right reader.
Hope this works

Hi marchant85
the following explains something about the Italy Star
http://www.stephen-stratford.co.uk/wwii_medals.htm
http://www.northeastmedals.co.uk/britishguide/italy_star.htm
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italy_Star
Have you checked his for his service record? It should state where he was during the war.
