- Notes
- Lieutenant Gerald Joseph Schwartz, R.C.A., of Montreal, died of injuries on March 30, 1945, while serving on the western front. Lieutenant Schwartz received his military training with the McGill University C.O.T.C. and at Brockville. He proceeded overseas in 1943 with the Royal Canadian Artillery. An enthusiastic soldier, he wrote the following from England to Mrs. M. Hyman of the Montreal Women’s War Efforts Committee of Canadian Jewish Congress: “You have been told, no doubt, many times and in many ways of the good comradeship, the esprit de corps, the absence of racialism, the quiet tolerance which exists in the Canadian army.

A brother, Bertram, served in the R.C.A.F.
