| Abstract: | A small photograph of an American soldier's fiancee survived the war and was found 70 years later by Claire Bonavia, the principal conservator of the National War Museum in Valletta, when the sergeant's visor cap was being restored. The visor cap is part of the complete army uniform that war veteran Herb Tollefson donated to Heritage Malta's national collection when he visited the island last year to celebrate his 96th birthday. |
