Andrew will be telling us about the work carried out by the doctors, surgeons, and medical staff working in the numerous hospitals situated on the Island of Malta throughout the Great War. He will be taking us through the job they did, the lives they saved, and the people who received life saving attention whilst being nursed back to health. And of the many thousands of severely injured and damaged soldiers who owe their lives to these dedicated medics.
