The King's Own Malta Regiment was formed as a Territorial Unit and mobilised during the Second World War in four Battalions. They took part in ground defence operations, manning machine guns against low flying German aircraft. Outside of the direct conflict the unit helped to ensure that the vital airfields were kept operational during the Siege, unloading supplies from those ships that made it through and rescuing those caught up in the continual air attacks.
