"As a regular army unit, the King's Own Malta Regiment had a cadre of experienced, well-trained officers. Its regular battalions had the same allotment of weapons and equipment as units from the home islands, and wartime efficiency reports spoke well of the regiment. Motor transport was in short supply, but this was true of many British units as well. The Maltese saw no action during the war, so their possible performance against German and Italian invaders can only be speculative. The Maltese coast artillery and anti-aircraft batteries performed well, and the Maltese — all volunteers — would have been defending their homes. "
