Taking a stroll down memory lane

My mother-in-law, who is Maltese, is 90 years old and resides at St Vincent De Paul in Malta. She told me about her first husband by the name of Joseph Zammit. He was a gunner in the Maltese army during World War II and his army number was 6618. He was adopted at birth.

She had only been married a few short months when her husband contracted TB and died very quickly. Her parents did not allow her to visit him while he was ill and they did not let her know that he had died until a few months later.

She still loves this man, over 70 years on.

She has asked me to find out anything I can about her late husband. Also, she would love a picture of him. I do not know where to start this search but I do feel some urgency that I obtain this information for her.

She thinks he died in 1940.

Anybody who can help me with any information can contact me on shirley-robinson@hotmail.com.

Maybe you can start by obtaining a birth/death certificate from the public registry. It's a good place to start.
