Mano, Avraham Yehuda

Son of Dodon (Devorah) and Yehuda. He was born in 1909 in Salonika, Greece, where he immigrated to Palestine with his wife in 1934. He joined the British Army in the Second World War and was stationed in the Western Desert at Marsa Matruch, Tobruk. On 11 Shvat, February 8, 1941, an enemy aircraft bombed his ship, and the barrels of fuel exploded and flared, and many soldiers jumped into the water. Abraham was among them, and was brought to rest in the British military cemetery in Tobruk, Libya. He left a son and daughter. His name was immortalized in the Book of Volunteerism, in the Yizkor book of the Jabotinsky Institute and in the “Journalists’ Book” of 1946.
