Default Sorry, scan is not the best

but there is no Italy Star. It's very definitely a Pacific Star, how many combatants would be eligible for both Atlantic and Pacific? Note the Atlantic Star has the 'France and Germany' clasp. From the same batch, here's an even sadder example. The '1914-1918' medal is stamped 'Pte.J.M.McIlroy' on the edge. It would appear that he served in some capacity in both wars (I guess someone thought the 'Great War' ribbon looked pretty), any suggestions on how I might trace him or, at least, honour his memory? Very sad that people who served can be discarded like so much trash.

Thanks, Dave
