To mark the final settlement of peace in Europe and the Pacific and Far East this very special commemorative medal has been struck to acknowledge a truly allied effort which made these victories possible.
Available to all those who served between 1939 and 1945 in the fighting forces or essential war-effort workers throughout the allied countries.
The ribbon features outer bands of rich claret representing life with the centre band of gold representing the dawn of a new day.
The international work of the British Red Cross - part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, benefit from this project.
