dc.description.abstractThe year 1942, fifty years ago, was the most crucial year of the survival of Malta during World War II. It was a terrible year during which the Royal Navy, at great cost, strove gallantly but not always successfully to keep Malta adequately supplied with food, fuel and ammunition. By the end of 1941 the victualling situation of Malta was perturbing the authorities because no convoy had reached Malta since the previous September. When in mid-December 1941 the British 8th Army occupied the bulge of Cyrenaica, the British immediately began to resupply Malta, beginning with operation MF-1 (supply ship Breconshire) on 18th December 1941.
