rusticalex Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 I'm not quite sure when these photos were taken as they are not dated, but they are taken by my great uncle, so must have been whilst he (and my grandfather) were taking part in the 'Crete disturbances in Malta' before the Boer War. They are a mixed bunch, but some of them are hopefully of interest. The album is just under 6" wide, and the photos are 3" wide. Please ask if you would like close ups of any of the photos, and please feel very free to offer any insights into this particular episode, as I know nothing about it, and please make any comments about the photos as you please! Thanks Alex Inside cover...

Graham Stewart Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 Another cracking album and if my geography is correct the very last photo is the caves at Gozo, Malta.
Adrob Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 More likely the caves in Comino !! Don't forget that Comino was a favorite place for Pirates cause of it's caves!!
