Enfields in Queue: Malta

One of the very few Territorial Army units to be designated "Royal". The KOMR was the garrison force of the Island of Malta during the German aerial assault of 1941, for which the entire population of Malta was awarded the George Cross by George VI. Most of the regiment served in an air defense role during the siege.
