Rflmn. Myer Tompofski MM.

British Army 2/7th Battalion West Yorkshire Regiment

from:Leeds

(d.27th September 1918)

Myer Tompofski won his MM at the Battle of Bucquoy in March 1918 and was killed on the first day of the Battle of the Canal du Nord on 27th of September 1918. He was my mother's brother, always spoken of with huge affection. We have eight of his letters home revealing him to be a warm, funny, highly considerate son and brother. He is buried with his comrades at the Flesquieres Hill Cemetery near Cambrai. I have written a short play about my uncle based on his letters.
