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 second part of the interview, Vincent 'Censinu' Caruana started explaining how refugees (including his family) had been welcomed in Siggiewi. He had to get accustomed to the new conditions in a rural setting, far from home. He talked about the pre-war situation, the arrival of anti-aircraft guns, the plight of the internees, the sirens and the people's interactions in the shelters.
