Message from our National Chairman, Ray Wrigglesworth: Dear members. Well Spring has arrived, albeit with some very heavy and damaging storms, I sincerely hope that you all survived and didn’t experience any serious damage. Our big news of course is the publishing of our Malta reunion programme for April 2022. Booking forms are being distributed to all those who have expressed an interest in attending, but do please get in touch if you would still like to come – you will be very welcome as always: info@georgecrossisland.org.uk Other ceremonies are planned during the year to commemorate the 80th Anniversary of the Award of the George Cross to the people of Malta, and also the arrival of the Pedestal Convoy in August 1942. Details will be released soon. As always, Jean and I, wish you well and hope that we will see you in Malta or at the AGM, or one of our other ceremonies this year. Thank you for your continued support of the George Cross Island Association. Very best wishes Ray  The George Cross Island Association Originally came into being to commemorate and bring together veterans and families of the Siege of Malta (1940 to 1943) and particularly those who took part in the Pedestal Convoy so that comrades and friends could share their experiences. However, today we welcome members from all walks of life who have an interest in Malta and want to see history promoted and maintained. So if you have an interest in history, particularly the Mediterranean during WW2, do join us – we would love to hear your memories and experiences or simply share ours with you.Please use the Membership page to complete a form which will automatically be sent to the membership secretary who will send on all the relevant information. We welcome contributions to this site from our members or from any one who has an interesting article. Please send your contributions to:info@georgecrossisland.org.uk. We also have an interest in other similar military/veteran organisations including Friends of Millbank - who celebrate the history of the Army Medical Services medical achievements starting with the Crimea and up to present day. Their web site is: https://www.friendsofmillbank.org/ and for anyone interested in military medical history it is well worth a look at their 2022 programme of Zoom talks, open to all. https://www.friendsofmillbank.org/programme/ | NEWS & OBITUARIES To expand the items, click the red underlined text...
