.His Burma Star somehow disappeared in the family many years ago. Seeing one on the TV this morning recollected it. Is there any central record of them by which I could get just an image. Were they serial numbered ?
All WW2 stars and medals to British recipients were issued unnamed, and without any service details (those to South Africans and Australians were named). If you wanted to replace the Burma Star that has gone missing any reputable dealer will sell you one for under £20. I can give you a recommendation if you PM me. I would avoid ebay, as there are a lot of modern copies of WW2 medals on there masquerading as originals.
