One of Malta’s last surviving war veterans turns 100 today.
Major Maurice George Agius has witnessed defining moments in Malta’s history. He has played a part in defending the country as well as in making it a better place.
“I feel blessed and privileged to have led a long, happy, healthy and interesting life. I am pleased that I have seen my family grow and that I got to meet my great-grandchildren,” he told
Times of Malta just before he marked his 100th birthday.
Agius was a member of Malta’s defence forces during World War II and was later behind the modernisation of the MMDNA (Malta Memorial District Nursing Association), which, for years, provided free home nursing services to thousands.
