What were the medical services of the British Army in Malta during the 164 years of colonial rule?
Who were the Regimental Surgeons, Staff Medical Officers, and Officers of the Royal Army Medical Corps who served in Malta?
What diseases and epidemics confronted the medical officers of the Malta Garrison?
Where were the Infantry Barracks, Regimental Hospitals and Station Hospitals located?
