Malta GC and Medals awarded ?
My old Dad moved with his Sqdn from N Africa to Malta, and seems to have been there throughout the problems that the Axis powers caused to that stoic Island, after that and along with many others, they moved on to Scicily and then into the Italian mainland, for all this all the airmen Sailors plus the army lads were awarded the "Italy Star",
However a few weeks ago the Prince Phillip was pictured wearing a group of medals with one in particular called the "Defense of Malta Star".
Is this a totally different award or is it called that when its is also the Italian Star...?
