Addition: I have always thought the Burma Star (and Pacific Clasp) or Pacific Star (and Burma Clasp) - was a bit rough - mind you given how long the Artic Star took to arrive may be not. For those who don't know those eligilble for both only got the first earned plus the clasp for the other. HMG seems less mean these days; I am sure many of us remember serving with men with multiple clasps on the GSM as the only visible recognition of their active service.
Also clasps "Air Crew Europe" or "France and Germany" on the Atlantic Star (but not both). I don't think it was a matter of parsimony, more a way of avoiding over long medal groups. As things stood it was still possible to be awarded five stars out of the eight issued (six, now that the Arctic Star has been instituted). One well known recipient of a "five star" group was Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten, RN, whose group contains the Burma Star with Pacific clasp referred to by
