Thanks for all the info Jeri. I really should get down to reading Bobbins of Belgium - I have it on my Kindle and can also read it on my phone or my iPad, so I really have no excuse.
I have always found history fascinating (except when I was forced to learn whole chapters of European history by heart when in form 3). I've also read lots about the second world war and listened to countless stories from relatives as well. Since Malta was very hard hit as it was a British base, many Maltese aged around 75 and over have lots to tell. But, funnily enough, I had never heard about the flour sacks and will now have to ask.
