EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the imposing presence of St. David's British Military Barracks in Mtarfa, Malta, during the early 1910s. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the history of the Maltese archipelago during the British colonial era. Mtarfa, a small town located in the Northern Region of Malta, was once home to a significant British military presence. St. David's Barracks, named after the Patron Saint of Wales, was one of the largest and most important military installations in the region. The barracks housed several regiments of the British Army, providing them with shelter and training facilities. The photograph showcases the grandeur and architectural elegance of the barracks, with its red-tiled roofs, whitewashed walls, and intricate stonework. The meticulously planned layout of the buildings, arranged in a neat and orderly fashion, reflects the military discipline and organization that characterized the British colonial rule. The image also reveals the lush greenery that surrounds the barracks, with trees and vegetation providing a stark contrast to the stone structures. The presence of the British flag atop one of the buildings serves as a reminder of the military might and influence that once dominated the Maltese landscape. This photograph offers a unique and intriguing insight into the history of Mtarfa and Malta during the British colonial period. It invites us to reflect on the complex and multifaceted relationship between the Maltese people and their colonial rulers, and the lasting impact that this era had on the island nation.
