Scope and content
Albert Ganado started by talking about the pre-war political situation in Malta in the 1930s. He mentioned the Nationalist Party electoral victory in 1932 followed by the Italian invasion of Abyssinia in 1935. He described the first air raids of June 1940 which forced his family's transfer to Rabat. He also talked about the internment and deportation of his cousin, Herbert Ganado, and how this had impacted the family. He was conscripted into the Royal Malta Artillery (R.M.A.) for a few months and later released to continue his university studies.
