Yarkoni, Yeshayahu

Son of Miriam and Pinchas. Born in 1898 in the city of Brusilov, near Kiev, Russia. Yeshayahu studied in a “cheder” and in 1913 immigrated with his family to Eretz Israel. The family lived in Haifa. During the First World War, when the British began to conquer the land from the Turks, Yeshayahu volunteered for the 40th Battalion of the King’s Rifles, known as the “First of Judah” to continue liberating the land. On the 30th of Tishrei, October 24, 1919, Yeshayahu was killed and brought to eternal rest in the military cemetery in Bat Galim, Haifa, leaving his parents, brothers and sisters.
