I am the granddaughter of Viscount Gort V.C. He was Governor of Malta during the worst of the war replacing Dobbie and bringing the George Cross with him from the king.

I would be grateful if any of the many readers of The Times had any anecdotes about his time in Malta. I can be reached on 2180 6169 or 9924 5725 or by e-mail on libbaabelsmith@gonuts4free. com.
