Ribbon, Merchant Marine, Combat Bar

Title

Ribbon, Merchant Marine, Combat Bar

Description

Ca. 1944. Merchant Marine Combat Bar and award card.

The physical ribbon has a single silver star - a star denoted the recipient of the award was aboard an attacked ship and was forced to abandon ship as a result; there was no upper limit for the number of stars which could be affixed to the ribbon.

Award cards did not depict a ribbon with a star, rather in the upper right-hand corner of the card was type "With Star;" this display card does not include this detail.
