Burma star.

Hi. Can anyone tell me how to find out if the following person was awarded the Burma star?  William Thomas Kirby, able seaman, HMS Pathfinder,C379055, came out of the navy 1946/47. Thanks Kassi

The only way to find out what campaign medals a service man received is through his service records. Though Pathfinder did serve in FE, and in the qualifying areas, there is no way of knowing whether he served on the ship for the required period unless it is detailed in the aforementioned records.

If you are NoK then you can apply for his records:
