Malta Command WW2 Living History Group aims to re-create the way Maltese soldiers served and lived during the war years not only for the fun and entertainment of its own members but also to educate the public by showing in what way their forefathers lived and defended our dear island.
This is done via various displays done at some of the major public events taking place on the island throughout the year.
