Full Size Bomber Command Bar

The Bomber Command Clasp was awarded to those who had qualifed for the 1939-45 Star and had flown at least one operational sortie with a Bomber Command operational unit. A clasp was deemed more appropriate than a medal in the case of Bomber Command by Sir John, as aircrew had already received either the Aircrew Europe Star or the France and Germany Star for air operations; and another medal could have constituted “double-medalling” for what may be the same service.

This bar can only be worn on the 1939-45 Star, only 1 bar can be worn on the ribbon of each WWII star. On the ribbon bar this award may be represented by a silver rosette.

The full size replica bar is gold in colour to match the medal and bears the words "BOMBER COMMAND". It has 4 pre-drilled holes in each corner so that the bar can be stitched directly onto the ribbon, it should be stitched just above the medal ring.
