This category contains profiles of recipients of the Burma Star.

The Burma 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 Burma Campaign from 1941 to 1945, during the Second World War. One clasp, Pacific, was instituted to be worn on the medal ribbon in the case of a recipient later becoming eligible for the Pacific Star (both the Burma and Pacific Stars could not be earned).
