- Notes
- Second Lieutenant Harry Jassby of Montreal, Quebec, joined the Royal Flying Corps (forerunner of the Royal Air Force) in 1917 and arrived in England in April 1918. He died in a flying accident seven months later, just five days before armistice. He lied about his age when he enlisted and his gravestone indicates that he was 22, when in fact he was just 20. Before going overseas, he learned to fly during his training as an aerial gunner and was made a second lieutenant. He received a Jewish burial service with military honours, and a Star of David appears on his tombstone. (See article in Canadian Jewish News, Nov. 11, 2004.)
