Bosani, Meir

Son of Margalit and Levi. He was born in 1921 in Sanaa, in 1988. In 1933, after his father’s death, the family immigrated to Eretz Israel and settled in Tel Aviv, where he studied at the Tachkemoni School. During the Second World War, he volunteered for the British Army and was assigned to the transport company 462. On May 1, 1943, the ship “Aryanpura” was bombed, bringing Hebrew drivers to Malta. Meir and one hundred and thirty-nine of his comrades were killed at sea. He put two brothers and two sisters. His name was immortalized in “The Soldier’s Handbook,” published in 1944, in “The Book of Volunteerism,” in the book “Am in his War” and in the book “Yizkor” published by the Jabotinsky Institute. In the military cemetery on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem, a ship-shaped memorial was erected in memory of the missing, and next to it is a water pool with the names of the fallen engraved on the bottom. The space is a machete – a space whose burial place is unknown
