Tal-Handaq Nostalgia

Memories of the Royal Naval School, Malta, 1947 - 1978.

On This Day 
Lt George Carroll - Hero of Mosta - died 23 May 2012 

Lt Carroll (pictured left) is believed to have been responsible for tackling more unexploded bombs than any other Royal Engineers bomb disposal officer in World War II, across all theatres of war.

Remarkably, he was the only bomb disposal officer from the Army, Navy and Air Force active during the siege of Malta not to be decorated, though this did not bother him.
