Having visited a number of military sites on the Island,all brilliantly presented and a credit to the team from Malta heritage i have got to say i found them all to be very welcoming professional and approachable to any requests. The Saluting Battery War Rooms and the Gardens is my favorite location, an amazing experience and setting at anytime of the day or night. I was very lucky, when i last visited during a tour to be shown around by one of the staff, a delightful and very knowledgeable young man,Bertie Zara,being x military formerly with the 4th Field Artillery Regiment back in Ireland, it made my day to converse with this young man who was knowledgeable unhurried and went that extra mile to ensure my visit was memorable,can you please pass on my thanks to him and all your team, Liam Cleary.
