| Abstract: | I followed with interest the correspondence in issues 96 and 97 of Button Lines concerning buttons of various telegraph companies. This is a subject close to home especially when Malta is involved. Forty-five years after Malta was annexed by the British crown under the treaty of 1814, a telegraph station was established in Valletta, and the firm of Glass Elliot laid a cable for the British Government which connected Malta to Alexandria The Mediterranean Extension Telegraph Company, as this first company was known, was taken over in 1868, and, following various mergers, eventually became part of the Eastern and Associated Telegraph Companies. |
