Winston Churchill's "Stolen Valour"?

British Prime Minister Winston Churchill rightfully received a deluge of awards from Britain and other countries following WWII, including, perhaps less rightfully, no fewer than six British campaign stars and medals. Research shows that Churchill did not meet the award criteria for any of the six WWII medals, so how did he obtain them? Was Britain's most famous leader guilty of the modern misdemeanour called "Stolen Valour"?
