George, Suggest you try Ted Harris' site http://www.diggerhistory.info/ & look for the master index. Ted has a lot of British, allied & enemy information as well as Australian stuff. The following would need to be confirmed from a British source, but, quoting from an official Australian brochure "The 1939-45 Star was awarded for 180 days service........ between 3 Sept. 1939 & 2 September 1945.....The Burma Star (after qualifying for the 1939 Star) is for service in the area between 11 Dec 1941 & 2 Sept. 1945.....". I am almost sure that the original qualifying period for the 1939 - 1945 Star was 365 days. If you want, I can scan the sheet (it has pix of the medals & ribbons) & email the file to you.
