Alfred Joseph Gatt was the father of Henry Louis Gatt. Alfred had joined the Royal Malta Artillery (R.M.A.) in the early-1900s and along with his brother William, he was transferred to the Royal Army Ordnance Corps (R.A.O.C.). Both of them had been stationed overseas between 1914-1919. Alfred was Mentioned in Despatches and he was also awarded the Military Cross either on or for actions dated the 3rd of June 1916 during the Battle of Gallipoli. After his distinguished First World War service, he was given command of the R.M.A. from 1935 until the beginning of the Second World War, when he was appointed Commander Fixed Defences. In 1941 he was made Colonel Commandant of the R.M.A. and had died in 1950 aged 67.
