MALT-04 – Maltese Militia #4 | John Jenkins Designs
The Great Siege of Malta lasted from May until September 1565 and became an extraordinary struggle for control of an island occupying a strategically important position in the central Mediterranean.
MALT-04 adds another individual soldier to the Maltese militia defending the island against the Ottoman assault.
Local troops fought within and around the fortified positions held by the Knights of St John, enduring bombardment, repeated attacks and the immense strain of a siege lasting several months.
For collectors, adding different militia poses throughout a defensive position helps create the impression of a population mobilised for survival rather than a small force of professional warriors fighting alone.
Position MALT-04 on a wall, near a gateway or among other defenders preparing to meet an assault.
Available through The Military Workshop – a versatile John Jenkins Designs Maltese defender for expanding a Great Siege of Malta collection.
Brand: John Jenkins
