| Abstract: | HMS Glorious was part of the Mediterranean fleet during World War II. On June 8, 1940, two German battleships sighted HMS Glorious, and after a two-hour battle, the aircraft carrier, along with its escorts HMS Ardent and HMS Acasta, were sunk, with a loss of 1,531 lives. Saviour Azzopardi, chairman of the Maltese branch of the HM Ships Glorious, Ardent and Acasta (Glarac) Association, portrays different Maltese seamen who died during this tragedy. |
