It was decided that the maximum number of stars that could be earned by any one person was five, while those who qualified for more received a clasp of the appropriate star. Only one clasp per ribbon was permitted which was the first to be earned after qualifying for that star. Thus the stars could bear the following clasps:
Clasp
Star (Sold Separately)
Battle of Britain Clasp
1939-1945 Star
Atlantic Clasp
Air Crew Europe Star or France and Germany Star
Air Crew Europe Clasp
Atlantic Star or France and Germany Star
8th Army Clasp
Africa Star
Pacific Clasp
Burma Star
Burma Clasp
Pacific Star
France and Germany Clasp
Atlantic Star and Air Crew Europe Star
Each clasp slides over the ribbon and is therefore easy to add and remove. No ribbon is supplied with clasps.
