A continuation and conclusion of the story of Australian airmen who served in or beside the RAAF in the struggle against Germany and Italy. In general it covers a period when both in the Mediterranean and in Northern Europe Air superiority, the vital pre-requisite of successful air assault, had already been gained over the enemy. The emphasis is largely engagements or in the strategic bombing campaigns to the total achievement of allied air power in land and sea campaigns.Historical record of the Air power over Europe 1944-1945Australia in the War of 1939-1945 - Air Power Over Europe 1944-1945.

The postcard was sent by Harry Holmes who was a member of the Australian Imperial Force based in Egypt at the time. He sent a number of postcards home to his family in Ascot, Victoria. Egypt was a major base for the AIF from December 1914. A number of campaigns were fought in this theatre. There were two campaigns involving the AIF. Note that not all the fighting was actually geographically in Egypt. (http://www.aif.adfa.edu.au:8888/about3.html) This photograph is significant because it was taken by a soldier (rather than an official war artist) and shows one of the daya to day activities experienced by Australian Soldiers in Egypt during World War One.A number of tents and soldiers in a dry landscape.

Medal belonged to Joan Grace Gibson (Mitchell) Service numbers: VFX53656 VX53656 VX38752. The Pacific Star is a military campaign medal instituted by the United Kingdom in May 1945 for award to British and Commonwealth forces who served in the Pacific Campaign from 1939 to 1945, during the Second World War. The reverse is plain, however Stars issued to Australian personnel typically have recipient names engraved on the reverse.The medal is of high significance and should be kept in the collection.Made from yellow copper zinc alloy with somewhat sharp six points. The metal of the medal is cool-to-touch. The obverse has a central and textured design of the Royal Cypher 'GRJ VI', surmounted by a crown. A circlet, the top of which is covered by the crown, surrounds the cypher and is inscribed 'THE PACIFIC STAR'. The reverse is engraved with 'VFX53656 J.G. GIBSON'. The ribbon is tactile with red, navy, and light blue stripes. The dark blue, red, and light blue stripes signify equal contributions of the Navy, Army, and Air Force across all fronts. It is worth noting that typically the Second World War 1939-45 Star ribbon would be matched with a medal that also states the Second World War 1939-45 Star. However, this Second World War 1939-45 Star ribbon is matched with a medal that denotes the Pacific Star. [I believe that the ribbon on 202508.259 and 202508.260 have been swapped at some point.].
