Shneur, Moshe Yehuda

He was born in 1898 in Poland and immigrated to Eretz Israel in 1935. During the 1936 riots, he enlisted in the Notre Dame and worked for a while in the “Night Squads” under the command of Orde Wingate. When World War II broke out, he enlisted in the British Army and was assigned to the 608th Corps. He served in Egypt and the western desert – in Marsa Matruh, Sulom, and Tobruk – and in March 1941 he was sent to Greece with the force intended to stop the German invasion. A month later, the Israeli Air Force retreated from the air, and in one of the bombings, on 1 Iyar, April 28, 1941, Moshe was killed. He was laid to rest at the British military cemetery in Falron, Athens. He is mentioned in “Yizkor” of the Jabotinsky Institute and “The Yearbook of Journalists”, 1946.
