The George Cross was awarded collectively to Malta in 1942, following hundreds of air raids. In a letter to the Governor, The King said the award was “to bear witness to a heroism and devotion that will long be famous in history.” 📷 King George VI visits Malta, 1943 https://t.co/UOepuWKR4o — PolitiTweet.org
