Troyman, Werner-Sally

Son of Degobert. He was born in 1922 in Germany. In 1938, he joined a group of young people who had spent some time in the Riednitz training camp, and in 1939 he immigrated to Eretz Israel to Kibbutz Ein Harod, where he joined the British army. And in April 1943 sailed with three hundred soldiers of his unit aboard the ship “Arinapura” from the port of Alexandria to Malta, with the aim of helping the Allies in the invasion of Sicily On the afternoon of the 27th of Nissan, May 1, 1943, a German aircraft carrier attacked a convoy of ships headed by the “Aryanpura.” The ship sustained two direct hits and within minutes began to sink. A hundred and forty of the soldiers of the 462 unit, including Werner-Sally, drowned. He left behind a brother in Israel. His name was immortalized in “The Book of Volunteerism,” in “The Yearbook of the Journalists,” and in the Yizkor Book of the Jabotinsky Institute, Elite-Youth Leaves”. In the military cemetery on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem, a ship-like monument was erected in memory of the missing, and next to it is a small water pool with the names of the hundred and forty people who are killed. This fallen hero is a “maklan” – a hero whose burial place is unknown.
