Danziger, Issachar (Yizhar)

During the Second World War, he was enlisted, under the instruction of Yishuv institutions, to the British army, the cavalry corps. Was a disciplined soldier who had done his job well. His commanders, who greatly admired him, elevated him to the rank of sergeant. In 1941, when there was a danger that Greece would fall into the hands of the German army, a British expeditionary force arrived in Egypt in an attempt to save it. The attempt failed, and the expeditionary force, for the most part, had to surrender. In the fierce battles of retreat from March to April 1941, Issachar fell in battle. The day of his death and the place of his death were unknown. His name is commemorated in a memorial monument to the fallen in a British military cemetery in Athens.
