africa star - British award of the Second Great War, instituted Aug. 3, 1943, to commemorate the expulsion of.the Axis forces from North Africa. This decoration was granted for service in North Africa between June 10,1940 (when Italy entered the war), to May, 1943 (when operations against the Axis in North Africa ceased). The ribbon is pale buff in colour—symbolic of the desert—with a central vertical red stripe that stands for the armies, a. narrower dark blue stripe for the naval forces and the merchant navies, and a light blue stripe for the air forces. It is worn with the dark blue stripe farthest from the shoulder. Awards of a clasp to the Africa Star for the army are restricted to service in the Eighth and First armies from Oct. 23, 1942, the date of the battle of Alamein, to May 12, 1943, inclusive. A silver emblem in the form of a figure 8 or 1, denoting the award, is worn on the ribbon on service dress. A clasp, denoted by the standard silver rose emblem, is awarded to R.A.F. personnel who operated in support of the Eighth and First armies or in defence of Malta during the same period. In the Navy only those who served as part of the Eighth or First armies, on shore or in harbour, receive the clasp. The award to members of the Merchant Navy is restricted to those serving in vessels which worked inshore during the campaign. The star, of yellow copper zinc alloy, is identical in shape with the seven other campaign medals of the Second Great War. See Campaign Stars.
