The following information has been researched and transcribed by The Black Country Society:
Geoffrey Worrall enlisted in the Royal Artillery and was sent out with his unit to Malta to help in the defence of this most important link in Allied communications in the Mediterranean. In 1942 it was crucial for the supply of Egypt and the 8th Army in North Africa. German bombing was frequent and the Heavy Anti-Aircraft Regiment was a key part of the defence. On the 7th April the island sounded its 2000th alert and on the 16th King George VI awarded the island the George Cross.
