- Notes
- Flight Lieutenant William Nelson was from Montreal, Quebec. He was twice personally congratulated by His Majesty for his exploits as captain of a heavy bomber, received the Distinguished Flying Cross at Buckingham Palace on June 6, 1940, and thus became the first Canadian Jew to be decorated in this war. The citation read: “Nelson carried out many flights over enemy territory, always showing the greatest determination and courage. After an attack on Stavanger, Norway, he encountered a balloon barrage and sent a report to base headquarters in time to warn aircraft.” Flight Lieutenant Nelson was interested in aviation since early childhood, when he began building model airplanes, and in 1936 Flight Lieutenant Nelson worked his way across the Atlantic to join the Royal Air Force. After he overcame several obstacles to his enlistment, he was finally accepted and posted as lecturer. He was a member of the first bomber squadron to fly over German territory after the declaration of war in September 1939. He was among the airmen who raided Stavanger and the German air base at Sylt and took part in the evacuation from Dunkirk. He was listed as missing (R.A.F. Casualty List No. 52) and was presumed killed for official purposes on May 26, 1941. Biography in comic book “Jewish War Heroes,” published by CJC.

- Pilot Officer Moses Lewis Usher of Montreal, Quebec, was reported killed in action overseas on March 31, 1942. He was interred in Lerwick Cemetery in the Shetlands, the first Jew to be buried in the islands. The R.A.F. placed a special aircraft at the disposal of Chaplain H.I. Alexander to enable him to reach the Shetlands to perform the burial. Pilot Officer Usher joined the McGill University Canadian Officers Training Corps at the outbreak of the war and enlisted in the air force in June 1940. He trained at the No. 1 Wireless School, Montreal, and later at Fingal, Ontario, where he received his wings in December 1940. He was sent overseas in February 1941 and was attached to a Halifax bomber squadron as a wireless air gunner. He participated in raids over enemy territory, including an attack on Nuremberg. Pilot Officer Usher was presented to King George VI and Queen Elizabeth when they visited his station. Word of his death reached his family several days before the announcement of his commission.
