Heroes of the Great War: the Knights of St. John

A bit of history for 9/11/06.

On Tuesday, September 11, 1565, the Knights of St. John, one of the last surviving orders of Crusaders, defeated invading Muslim Turks on the Island of Malta, denying the Turks supremacy over the Mediterranean Sea.

A relatively detailed account of the events can be found here.
