CHRISTMAS MESSAGE
FROM A
WORLD WAR II GUNNER
MAJOR MAURICE G. AGIUS ED RMA (RETD)
mauagius@maltanet.net
2. 3/11 Regiment Royal Malta Artillery (PDF Library). Page 2
As the current Chairman of the Royal Malta Artillery
Association (RMAA), I often meet the representative of 3/11
Regiment RMA(T) at some function connected with World War
II. One of the aims of the RMAA is to keep the name of the
Royal Malta Artillery alive. Our two associations are doing just
that. Quite rightly the Armed Forces of Malta have retained the
basic RMA cap badge as its own badge.
11 HAA Regt RMA(T) was formed on 21 September 1939 and 3
LAA Regt RMA(T) in March 1941. When the Island became
Independent and the Malta Government took over
responsibility for the two RMA TA units and 1/KOMR, it was
decided to amalgamate the two RMA(T) units. The new unit
became 3/11 Regt RMA(T) and so the names of both units lived
on.
The Royal Malta Artillery did extremely well in the defence of
the Island during WW II. King George VI was so impressed by
the their skill and resolution that on 3rd April 1942 at the
height of the Battle for Malta he decided to assume the
Colonelcy-in-Chief of the Regiment - only a few days before
awarding the George Cross to the whole Island.
The Royal Malta Artillery has every reason to be proud of its
record.
I wish you all and your family a Very Happy Christmas and All
the Best for 2016.

POSTSCRIPT
Major Maurice Agius, now 94, lives on his own near Kappara,
Malta. Sadly, his wife Sheila (nee Chalmers) passed away six
years ago.
Maurice was born in Sliema, Malta in 1921, educated at The
Lyceum and at the Royal University of Malta. He was eighteen
years old when World War II broke out in September 1939 but
had already been in uniform two weeks, as he had joined the
Territorials in June of that year.
He was discharged from the Army after a few months on
compassionate grounds to attend university but was back in
uniform two days after Mussolini joined the war in June 1940
and soon afterwards was commissioned and served in 2nd
Heavy Anti-Aircraft Regiment Royal Malta Artillery, right
through the siege 1940-1943.

Johnny Frost as the first Commander Malta Land Force. He
was appointed GSO II MLF and Liaison Officer HQ Malta
