Dates covered: 1931-1945. Laurence Mizzi spoke about the Italian declaration of war and the subsequent bombardments which had forced his family's relocation to Gudja as refugees. Laurence remembered the way of life in the rural areas, the disparity between the city dwellers and the villagers, the new living conditions which the former had to get accustomed to, the air raids, the black market, Victory Kitchen songs, the convoys and his take on the Maltese-born Italy-serving spy Carmelo Borg Pisani.
