Official Registry of Casualties Commemorated: 1944
Plaque Significance & Historical Context
Bronze Plaque No. 15 is located at the base of the main circular column of the Malta Memorial in Floriana. This panel records the names of Commonwealth aircrews who went missing or lost their lives in 1944 operations across the Mediterranean region. It serves as a vital genealogical resource for historians and descendants tracking non-recovery personnel.
The panel lists a large contingent of Royal Air Force (RAF) enlisted airmen (Sergeants, Corporals, and Aircraftmen), followed by a special commemoration for personnel from Newfoundland, and concludes with officers of the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF).
