WW11 Medals and awards

Good morning,

Yet again going through the sad task of sorting out my fathers effects( the last four boxes) I have come across a small piece of paper that say's my Dad was awarded his medals from that conflict, having read this I have now matched it up with the medals he had, but the paper says a Clasp was awarded with his Africa Star,

Could one of you chaps explain what is a clasp, what should it look like, and why would the War office mention it in this very official countsigned paper?

Many regards
