Regrettably, many of them have already passed away. It is surprising that only a small number of people walking past the main entrance to Sliema's government elementary schools on Blanche Street are aware that this particular building used to house one of the most important war offices for the Sliema wartime civil defence - the Air Raid Precautions (ARP) Centre. This insight is provided by Anthony Zarb Dimech. 2013-07-07T00:00:00Z https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/116774 Title: Charles, Waldemar u Anthony : tlett żgħażagħ Maltin f'nofs gwerra imdemmija Abstract: L-artiklu jitratta ktieb bl-isem 'Three Anzacs from Malta, a true story of friendship, love, and loss' li kitbet id-Dottoressa Gioconda Schembri. Xi ftit tas-snin ilu, kien ġie f'idejn l-awtriċi l-ktieb ta' John Mizzi 'Gallipoli: the Malta Connection.'

Fost dawn l-Anzacs Maltin, kien hemm ġuvni mill-Imqabba, Andrew Camilleri kif ukoll tlett żgħażagħ oħra Maltin imsemmijin fil-ktieb, Charles Bonavia u Anthony Xuereb mill-Belt u Waldemar Beck mill-Imsida, li dawn ukoll bħal Andrew kienu iddeċidew li jemigraw lejn l-Awstralja, mimlijin tama għal futur aħjar. Permezz tal-ktieb tagħha, id-Dr Schembri rnexxiela tagħti lil dawn it-tlett żgħażagħ l-unur li jixirqilhom u li issa isimhom ma jintesa' qatt. 2017-01-01T00:00:00Z https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/116542 Title: Infakkru l-memorja ta' Andrew (Andrea) Camilleri : eroj Imqabbi tal-Ewwel Gwerra Dinjija Abstract: Din ir-riċerka ġdida qed tiġi ppublikata biex tfakkar Imqabbi li mill-kenn ta' daru fi Triq Santa Katarina fl-Imqabba emigra sabiex ifittex xortih barra minn xtutna.

Infact, the 78 (F) Wing deployment in Malta was the first time that Australia had members of its forces on Malta. Originally based in Hal Far, the 78 (F) Wing was moved to Ta' Qali during 1953. 2021-01-31T00:00:00Z
