Children in damaged Maltese streets - Malta
A group of children play in a street in Malta, under the hanging lines of washing, the damage and rubble attesting to weeks of attacks on the Island. During World War II, Malta played an important role owing to its proximity to Axis shipping lanes. The bravery of the Maltese people during the second Siege of Malta moved HM King George VI to award the George Cross to Malta on a collective basis on April 15, 1942 " to bear witness to a heroism and devotion that will long be famous in history"

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant photograph, a group of children play and laugh in the damaged streets of Malta during the height of World War II. The idyllic scene is disrupted by the hanging lines of laundry, which are interspersed with the remnants of destruction and rubble. Malta, a small island in the Mediterranean Sea, played a significant role during the war due to its strategic location near Axis shipping lanes. The children's innocent playfulness contrasts sharply with the backdrop of devastation caused by weeks of relentless bombardment. Malta endured two sieges during the war, with the second siege beginning in 1940 and lasting until 1942. The bravery and resilience of the Maltese people during this period were unwavering, earning them the prestigious George Cross from HM King George VI on April 15, 1942. The King bestowed this honor upon Malta to commemorate the heroism and devotion of its people, which would be remembered in history. The children's cart and box car in the background add to the sense of normalcy amidst the chaos, as they continue to go about their daily lives amidst the ruins of their once peaceful streets. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the impact of war on civilians, and the enduring spirit of the Maltese people in the face of adversity.
