Seeking relatives of perished Maltese

The GLARAC Association, which is based in the UK, is kindly offering to donate a memorial plaque to honour the 39 Maltese serving on HMS Glorious who lost their lives when she was sunk as a result of a German attack off Norway on June 8, 1940. President Eddie Fenech Adami has agreed to unveil the plaque, which we hope can be placed at Upper Barrakka Gardens in Valletta, on February 16.

The association - which was set up to perpetuate the memory of the men serving in HM ships Glorious, Ardent and Acasta who lost their lives, as well as those who survived - is seeking to trace all the relatives of those Maltese who were aboard the ship so they can be invited to this special event.

They are asked to contact me by post at 18/1 Blk 'C' Sophia Street, Cospicua, CSP 02, or call 2182 2499.
