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.

In the fifth part of the interview, Vincent 'Censinu' Caruana described the sanitation at Siggiewi, the lack of medicine and doctors, Mussolini's death, the prisoners of war incarcerated in Malta and his demobilisation from the army.

In the third part of the interview, Vincent 'Censinu' Caruana started by recalling conscription and how he had been drafted into the army. He had to undergo medical tests and mentioned how the food provided to servicemen was much better than that available to civilians. He talked about life in the army - he had been assigned to 22 Battery, 3 LAA Regiment, Royal Malta Artillery (R.M.A.) - mentioned different diseases and talked about how he had suffered from scabies.
