About this medal The Africa Star was awarded to British and Commonwealth forces for service in North Africa between 10 June 1940 and 12 May 1943. About the ribbon The ribbon is pale buff in colour, with a central vertical red stripe, and narrower stripes, one dark blue and the other light blue. The pale buff background symbolises the desert, the central red stripe symbolises the Army, the dark blue stripe symbolises the Navy and Merchant Navy, and the light blue stripe symbolises the Air Force.
