Original 1939/45 Star Medal Ribbon Bundle, Un-Used, 1956 Dated World War One Pinback Distinguished Unit CitationA fascinating item, and not something we've ever come across before, but this is an unopen bundle of 1939 45 Star ribbon, still in it's original waxpaper ready for issue. The label suggests a packing date on 26 March 1956 and it appears to have originated from No. 25 Maintenance Unit, and R. A. F. formation based at RAF Hartlebury, near Kidderminster in Worcestershire.
