Thanks for your comments. The picture size is not always a matter of my choice. The size limits I have chosen are 1024 x 1024 with a file size limit of 250 KB. This will produce a near full screen clear image. Limitations are necessary as space costs money and I fund this site from my pension! Any photos posted by me are increased to as near these limits as possible whilst retaining acceptable quality. However many images submitted by members do not reach these standards often because the scanning from poor quality original prints just wasn't of sufficiently high resolution. Nevertheless they are welcome additions to our collective nostalgia. They are intended purely for viewing, not printing. Enjoy. Further contributions of whatever quality will of course be welcome.

A very good and informative site.
However I do think it is a great shame that you have chosen to display the many interesting pictures that you have here at such a small size. With many of the pictures shown at around 625x394 and the very largest at about 1024x800 it is impossible to appreciate them fully.

Not sure, but she lived in Balzan, so that might be a place to start looking. Or nearby Lija Cemetery or perhaps the large Addolorata Cemetery at Marsa.

Thank you so much for the information concerning Jackie Yule. She certainly deserved the OBE. Would anyone have information as to where she is resting as I go to Malta every year and I would like to lay a tribute on my next visit

What happened to Jackie Yule I would suspect she is dead by now. She always said she would never leave Malta. Does any one know if she did
