| Abstract: | A few weeks ago, this website reported that the church of St. Mary Magdalene in Merchants' Street has been vacated, is to be cleaned and returned to the Archdiocese of Malta. Other to the exquisite and elaborate sculpture that adorns the apse and doorways, just within the church's main door by the right hand corner is a small marble slab that not many would have noticed or known about. In 1915, areas within the Pembroke Cantonments were vacated and converted into hospitals and convalescent camps for servicemen wounded during the campaign in the Dardanelles, mainly in the Gallipoli and Salonika theatres. Some merely consisted of a number of weatherboard wards and offices, supported by large rows of tents. |
