Official Registry of Casualties Commemorated: 1944 and 1945
Plaque Significance & Historical Context
Bronze Plaque No. 18 is located at the base of the main circular column of the Malta Memorial in Floriana. This panel maps late-war operations, documenting casualties from the final periods of 1944 and transitioning into the intense campaigns of 1945. It serves as an open archival reference for researchers tracing the missing aircrews of the Commonwealth forces across the Mediterranean.
The panel specifically records deployments from the South African Air Force (SAAF) under the 1944 banner, followed by an extensive listing of personnel from the Royal Air Force (RAF) who lost their lives in 1945.
