Don't know if this has  been posted before, but it is very interesting.
It's the official published statement on the WW2 stars and the Defence medal as presented May 1945

Useful for me as I know very little about medals :)

Many businesses, towns, cities, villages, individuals and organisations contributed to the WWII Spitfire Fund. These ranged from the Nizam of Hyderabad donating a whole Squadron of DH9s to children donating a few coppers. A search through newspapers of the 1940s should produce lists of people from your area who donated to the Fund.
