Malta- the Harbour Barrage from the Upper Barracca
image: A view from the Upper Barracca over the Grand Harbour of Valletta under aerial bombardment at night. There are
piles of rubble in the immediate foreground and a British Anti-Aircraft gun fires skywards from a gun emplacement in the centre of the

composition. This emplacement and the smoke-filled Grand Harbour are visible through a large gap in the damaged wall of archways of the Upper Barracca. The night sky is illuminated by the moon, star shells, artillery and anti-aircraft fire.
