In the second part of the interview, Vincent 'Censinu' Caruana continued by talking about the lack of contact with British servicemen and the numerous colonial soldiers which were stationed in the Island. He described the air raids, Operation Pedestal and the Convoy of Santa Marija and his demobilisation from the army.

In the first part of the interview, Vincent 'Censinu' Caruana started by going on a long monologue. He talked about the pre-war political situation by mentioning Neville Chamberlain, Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, the Italian conquest of Abyssinia and the German occupation of Austria. He talked about the capitulation of France and how the Italian declaration of war by Mussolini was perceived in Malta. He remembered the first air raid, his family's hasty relocation to Siggiewi and the introduction of German bombers in January 1941.

Vincent Caruana and his family had left Senglea for the safety of Siggiewi in June 1940 when the first Italian air raids had been carried out. He described the evacuation process and resettlement in a new village in the countryside with emotion and lucidity. He was later conscripted into the Royal Malta Artillery (R.M.A.) and also talked about his time in the army, the shelters, the internees, the arrival of the Pedestal convoy and the capitulation of Italy.
