Seems the picture is too large.  Not sure how to shrink it down to under 500k

Thanks MaecW. Was not aware that one person could get both the 1939-1945 Star and the War Medal 1939-1945 as they seem to be for the same period.

For the details for eligibility check the Wikipedia entries under "War Medal 1939–1945", that also gives links to the other Stars and Medals.
