johnmelling1979 Posted 9 March , 2020 Share Posted 9 March , 2020 My skills may have payed off and found the video footage and show the exact places of the two postcards Hope the video works " Out on the street, Ellis captures the feel and look of everyday. Men wear berets and women wear the ghonnella, a traditional garment that covered them from head to toe. The occasion is a parade on the Granaries of Floriana. Another image, another occasion which sees several officials outside the Grandmaster's Palace in Valletta. The flag of the rising sun of Japan sits alongside the Union Jack, obviously honouring the alliance." https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.guidememalta.com%2Fen%2Fstep-back-in-time-awe-inspiring-video-offers-a-glimpse-of-malta-during-the-great-war&psig=AOvVaw3FbwGVMGgnYx92V5eQhK0_&ust=1583879030570000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CA0QjhxqFwoTCNiD17G3jugCFQAAAAAdAAAAABA1 John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
