Here is the US Victory Medal (each Allied country had their own design Victory Medal w/the same ribbon & planchette style), the US issues had "battle bars" fixed to the ribbon which were awarded to the soldier for each battle he was in, the 3 small stars were the original "medals/awards" issued to the soldier for either bravery or wounds & were subsequently replaced by the Silver Star &/or Purple Heart if the Army review deemed the original actions warranted them.
