| Abstract: | It was commonly believed that all censorship cachets used in World War One had been recorded. A new strike has turned up, which may well tie up with a marginal event in Maltese history: prisoners of war who remained interned in Malta in the Cottonera area long after the end of hostilities. German, Turkish, Austrian, Bulgarian and Greek officers were quartered in Verdala; soldiers in St. Clement' s Retrenchment and sailors at Forts. Salvatore. In charge of the prisoners, after January 1919, was the RMA, its regimental headquarters at Polverista Barracks (Fig.1a & b). [excerpt] |
