There was not one but two basic medals that was awarded to just about everyone who served at some point in WW2

They were, Defense Medal, this was awarded to service personnel for three years' service at home or six months' service overseas in territories subjected to air attack.

War Medal, was awarded to all full-time personnel of the armed forces wherever they were serving, so long as they served for at least 28 days between 3rd September 1939 and 2nd september 1945.

I have attached a photo of those two medals

Bomber command aircrew also got, the Aircrew Europe Star plus any campaign medals for the various Theatres of War , of which I do not have a image.
