There are three CWGC cemeteries there, or rather two cemeteries (one mainly RN, one exclusively civvy) and one memorial (mainly RAF/RCAF).
No Gwynnut/Gwinnut to be found.

Could you give us an idea of the time frame, chow?

Brilliant, Bob. I searched for 'Malta' and the CWGC site never brought up the Imtarfa Cemetery. We live and learn.

Just to save you some searching, vori:

Imtarfa Military Cemetery is about 1 kilometre to the north east of Mdina. It is 3 kilometres from Mosta and 1 kilometre from Rabat. Cemetery address: Triq Buqana, Imtarfa. GPS Co-ordinates: 35.890972, 14.409556.

Sorry the map is so small, couldn't get it any bigger. The (communal) grave is marked with a red dot..

thanks for the info john.
been to mdina a couple of times so i have a rough idea of the area.incidently it is spelt mtarfa.but i didnt know there was a war graves cemetry there. there is also a large cemetry in vittoriosa,i think, which i will find.
i have some contacts with the british legion over here so i will see what info they come up with,if any.
as a few of us go out regularly walking i think this seems like a good plan for one of our walks.
will be in touch soon.
