I would like to thank The Sunday Times for publishing (on October 9) the amazing, dramatic story of the Maltese seaman Andrew Micallef who was a prisoner-of-war in a Japanese camp.

Were not for Alfred Conti Borda’s assiduous re­search and dedication,  such epi­sodes, which are part of our country’s rich naval heritage, would have gone unnoticed.

Thanks to such writings these outstanding heroic experiences will be recorded for posterity.
