La Pacific Star (Étoile du Pacifique) est une des 8 étoiles de campagnes de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Il s'agit d'une décoration militaire britannique décernée aux soldats du Royaume-Uni et du Commonwealth of Nations (plus rarement aux étrangers).

Aspect de la Décoration

Description

La décoration "Pacific Star" est une étoile en bronze de 44 mm de hauteur et de 38 mm de largeur. L'étoile possède six branches avec en son centre les initiales du roi George VI, surmontées de la couronne royale, et entourées de la légende : THE PACIFIC STAR. Au revers, le nom du récipiendaire peut y être apposé (plus rarement) ainsi que son matricule.

Ruban

Le ruban est réputé pour avoir été créé par George VI. La jungle est représentée par du vert foncé, les plages par des bandes du jaune. La Royal Navy (et la Merchant Navy), l'Army, et la Royal Air Force sont représentées par des stries bleu foncé, rouge et bleu pâle. Dans le cas de la réception de l'agrafe "Burma", le ruban est complété en son centre par une rosette d'argent.

Particularités

Cette décoration est la cinquième dans une série de décorations qui partagent la même forme d'étoile mais dont la légende et les rubans diffèrent, à savoir : 1939-45 Star, Atlantic Star (en), Air Crew Europe Star, Africa Star, Pacific Star, Burma Star, Italy Star et France and Germany Star.
