Minister
for Foreign Affairs and Trade Promotion Carmelo Abela attends the annual
wreath-laying on the Commonwealth Air Forces Memorial, organised by The Royal
Air Force Association (Malta Branch). The memorial is dedicated to all
Commonwealth airmen lost in action in the Mediterranean area and the Balkans
during the Second World War and who have no known grave. It was built by what
was then known as the Imperial War Graves Commission in memory of 2,301 airmen
who lost their lives in the war and who have no grave.
