LT. MYER TUTZER COHEN
Lieutenant Myer Tutzer Cohen’s name is missing from Harbord Collegiate’s list of those who served and gave their lives in the First World War. It was only after receiving an email from a Mr. Earl Chapman, a historian of The Black Watch, inquiring about Lt. Cohen and whether or not we could confirm that he had been a Harbord alumnus. Mr. Chapman then sent us a copy of an article from the Toronto Star dated November 17, 1917 reporting on Lt. Cohen’s death in the battle of Passchendaele on November 3, 1917. The article went on to state that he had been educated at Harbord Street Collegiate. He and his family lived at 558 Huron Street, well within Harbord’s catchment area. He was awarded the Military Cross for gallantry on October 19, 1917. The award was accepted by his father, Moses Mark Cohen, at Government House in Toronto on April 19, 1918. Mr. .Chapman’s email went on to say that: “Myer’a service is commemorated in the Church of St. Andrew and St. Paul in Montreal, the Regimental Church of The Black Watch of Canada. The church features a magnificent memorial window, said to be one of the finest in Canada, which was dedicated to the 42nd Battalion (one of the three battalions raised for service with the Royal Highlanders). In the window, above the head of David, the Warrior King, is a six pointed Star of David inserted in honour of Lieutenant Cohen-a tribute to the ‘ memory of a gallant young Jew who, in sharing the high and chivalrous traditions of a proud and great Regiment , gave all he had for Canada’.
