Broznitsky Posted 22 March , 2004 Share Posted 22 March , 2004 Whilst researching other things, I encountered these six men of the CEF: XERRI , CHARLES 446239 from Malta, enlisted Calgary April 1915 XIBRAS , CHARLIE 3315006, details unknown XIQUES , FRANCIS XAVIER 3083933 from Cuba, enlisted Montreal April 1918 XUEREB , ANTONE 2379677, details unknown XUEREB , LAWRENCE 4005185 from Malta, conscripted London June 1918 XUIEREB , LAWRENCE 2204145 from Malta, enlisted Victoria June 1917 It appears the Maltese language makes use of the letter X. Anybody else encountered any X-men? Peter in Vancouver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_Hartley Posted 25 November , 2006 Share Posted 25 November , 2006 Many listed amongst the Medal Index Cards, seeing as you mention it. I see men in Maltese units called Xicluna, Xiberras, Xuereb & Xerri. I think the "X" is pronounced in Maltese as as "sh" - so Xiberras is Shiberras. I also see Xenophon, Xanthopoulos and Xanides amongst the Macedonian Mule Corps. John (still in a cold & damp Stockport) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
