    About this ebook

    WW2: August, 1942: Five ships from a convoy of fourteen, limped into Malta Harbour, a strategic naval base in the mediterranean, with vital supplies for the starving Maltese population. The serving officers and seamen on board were hailed as heroes. My grandfather, Thomas Smedley, was a serving seaman on the Brisbane Star and survived to tell the tale.

    The Malta Convoy (Operation Pedestal) was a joint venture between Allied Forces. This ebook is packed with personal recollections, a battle timeline, details of convoy ships, photographs and extracts from military reports at the time. Today, only 8 out of 100 surviving veterans are alive. This is the true story of the 'Malta Convoy Heroes.'
