Private Issie Bell of Montreal, Quebec, was officially reported killed in action on July 25, 1943. Private Bell enlisted in the Royal Rifles of Canada in 1941. In 1940 he went overseas, where he was posted to the Black Watch. A tribute to Private Bell was contained in a eulogy written by his brother, Joseph Bell. The poem, titled "Monologue of a Dead Soldier," was reproduced in the Montreal Gazette: There is no death for me who, dying falls Upon the wildly shattered Battlefield. There is no death: for do I cease to live The moment hot shrapnel or screeching bomb Detaches me from them who still can breathe? Does living mean to see, to hear, to feel -- Life being an impression of ourselves Portrayed upon the memories of friends? Do souls created by the Cosmic Prince Forfeit in so few years the rights to be? I do not fear that Justice will allow Such perfidy to stand amidst its fold Of Laws and Doctrines everlasting pure And sacred 'till the knell of doomsday tolls. Within these quiet shadows, where I now Abide, there is serenity and peace; The clangours and dissatisfactions fade Behind the cowl of death, I am content. My duty to the world is done; all debts Are paid. My Soul can happily disport Itself across the vistas of our land, Refreshed and solaced by its noble charm That did me prod unto my sacrifice.
