8th Batt - Malta

[David W]

I have just returned from Malta and visited the revamped War Museum at Fort St Elmo in Valletta. One ofd the new exhibits is a soldier dressed in uniform bearing the "Manchester" shoulder flash together with the 8th Batt crest in the background!

I took a reasonable photo and would be happy to post it if someone can advise!
