Abstract: The great majority of the war graves in Malta are situated in the Naval and Military cemeteries, the land occupied by which is the permanent property of the admiralty and the War Department respectively. The particulars given in the Registers of the graves have been compiled from information furnished by the Record Offices and the next-of-kin. In all cases the relatives have been asked to furnish the personal information they wish to appear in the Register and where possible this has been given in their actual words. Pieta Military Cemetery contains graves in which more than one soldier is buried and on which more than one headstone is erected. As each of these graves has a single grave number it follows that the numbering of a grave given in the register will in some cases not correspond with the number of the headstone as determined by counting from the beginning of the Row. Visitors should therefore examine the whole row if they do not at once find the grave in which they are interested. The Registers of Malta record particulars of 1,928 War Graves (including one unnamed)
