Five Star?

In front of me are my late father's medals: the 1939-1945 Star, the Africa Star with 8th Army Clasp, the Italy Star, the France and Germany Star, and the War Medal 1939–1945.

He had a life story that nobody could have written. And that is why, although people suggest it to me, I never shall.

The maximum possible number of Stars from the War was six, but by my reckoning it would have been impossible to have served in all the necessary theatres.

So, and I mean this out of sheer interest, does anyone know of someone with five?
