Does anyone know what the * and ** next to some of the awards refers to? It looks as if this is left over from the source of this information. BoonDock (talk) 18:30, 31 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

I came here to ask the exact same question - they appear to relate to the awards. Possibly whether the award was bestowed by the SAAF or by the RAF. Not sure! If we don't get a reply in coming weeks, I recommend we delete them. Farawayman (talk) 16:34, 11 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

After navigating to the article page of some of the pilots who have these marks next to their awards - I suspect * means "and Bar" and ** means "Bar awarded twice" - needs confirmation, but makes sense. Farawayman (talk) 16:45, 11 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Confirmation: '*' means one bar added to the medal, i.e. the medal was awarded for a second time. '**' means two bars added to the medal, i.e. the medal was awarded a total of three times. This is standard notation for awards. KizzyB (talk) 21:57, 21 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
