- Notes
- Warrant Officer Moses Zumar of Ottawa, Ontario, was reported missing after he failed to return from anti-submarine patrol in the Bay of Biscay off the coast of France. Enlisting in the air force early in September 1940, together with his brothers, Flight Lieutenant Harry and Flying Officer Reuben Zumar, Warrant Officer Zumar was called up in November of that year. He received his training at Toronto, Virden and Brandon, where he graduated and received his wings as a sergeant-pilot in September 1941. He took a general reconnaissance course at Charlottetown and went overseas in January 1942. He was assigned to an operational training unit and attached to the R.C.A.F. “Demon” Squadron, which was hitting at German shipping and conducting anti-submarine patrols. His brother, (then) Pilot Officer Harry Zumar, flew two harrowing trips over the Bay of Biscay searching without success for Warrant Officer Moses Zumar.
