The clasp 'Atlantic' was awarded to those who qualified for the Atlantic Star by having had six months service afloat or two months engaged in air operations in, or over, the Atlantic between 3 September 1939 and 8 May 1945, but who had already qualified for the award of either the France and Germany Star or the Air Crew Europe Star. The bar was sewn onto the ribbon of the appropriate star.
