| Abstract: | On 24 October, 1993, ex-886028 Lance Bombardier Philip E. Barber, of the Sixth Maritime Regiment, Royal Artillery, was awarded the Malta George Cross 50th Anniversary Medal by the Maltese High Commissioner in London. The ceremony was not one of great pomp, but to Philip and many others who had risked their lives in the defence of Malta during World War Two, it meant the appreciation of the Maltese people for all they endured during those turbulent years. Only few of us know of this branch of the Royal Artillery (RA) and its role in the defence of Malta. |
