Consulate General of Malta in Melbourne

29/04/2026

Last Saturday on Anzac Day, the Consul General had the honour of joining members of the Maltese Ex Servicemen Association of Victoria for the Anzac Day March to the Shrine of Remembrance. Earlier, prayers were held by Father Lonnie Borg MSSP at the Maltese Community Council of Victoria. Our participation is very significant as it also commemorates the role that Malta played during the two world wars including its labour corps which worked side by side with the Anzacs in Gallipoli, its role as the Nurse of the Mediterranean when it welcomed thousands of wounded Anzacs and the Maltese Anzacs, 7 of whom paid the ultimate sacrifice during WW1. Lest we forget.
