Carolyn and Malta
Carolyn
We were in Malta and my mother said that when the war first started the Italians came over but their aim wasn't very good, they just dropped a few bombs, but they had just three planes called faith, hope and charity. When the Germans came over she counted 30 aeroplanes at a time coming over to really do damage.

I remember those. We used to be transported on fairly small ships and we used to stop at Malta mainly for water. The islanders had a terrible time, but they made us troops very welcome. We were always allowed shore leave in Malta. Once I had a banana there, a real treat.
