I couldn't make out how many stars he had but I did wonder how, at 16 or 17 by war end, he had at least 4 campaign stars.
P-N , unlikely, but not impossible. He gets the France & Germany Star for his efforts on D Day. Later his ship is sent to the Far East and on the way sees active service in the Eastern Med, which earns him the Italy Star, then his Far East service earns him either the Burma Star or the Pacific Star (but not both). Add on his 1939-45 Star and you have your four campaign stars.

Either that or he was dissatisfied with what he had and bought a few more to augment his group!
