I served in the British army in Malta from 1941 until 1944, for most of that time in Fort Lascaris on the edge of Grand Harbour opposite Fort St Angelo.

During this time, I struck up a friendship with a Maltese girl named Marie Rose Kissaun, who worked as a typist with my unit. I recall that her father was manager of Cisk Brewery, that she had a younger sister named Hilda and a brother named, I think, Michael who was a student.

On October 10, I shall be returning to Malta on holiday for the fourth (and in view of my age, probably the last) time, and would very much like to know Marie Rose's subsequent history.

If any reader is able to help me and would phone Fiona Bugeja on 2143 4222, I should be most grateful.
