My great uncle Percy (see my signature) was captured at Singapore and died in 1943 in one of the Jap PoW camps.

What would his medal entitlement have been? Am I right in thinking it would be the 1939-45 Star and War Medal with possibly either the Burma or Pacific Stars?

Any help gratefully recieved
