Maltese Shelter of Peace - Veterans Description for Public
The Shelter of Peace was erected in 1994 by the governments of Australia and Malta, the City of Melbourne and the Maltese community of Melbourne. The Shelter, also known as George Cross memorial, commemorates the award of the George Cross to the Mediterranean island of Malta on 15 April 1942. Eight values are listed on the memorial: faith, hope, charity, peace, fortitude, temperance, justice and prudence.
The George Cross is the civilian counterpart of the Victoria Cross and is the highest gallantry award for civilians as well as for military personnel in actions which are not in the face of the enemy or for which purely military honours would not normally be granted.
