| Abstract: | Ray Cachia Zammit explains how the British military integrated 18th century fortifications built by the Knights of St John into the Victoria Lines defensive network along Malta's Great Fault. The article highlights how existing Knights era entrenchments at Naxxar Gap and Falka Gap were adapted to reinforce strategic roadways, a military strategy that evolved through World War II with the addition of concrete pillboxes. |
