Gunner William Guy Rosenthal, Royal Canadian Artillery of Montreal, was killed in action in Sicily on July 25, 1943.
He is buried in the Canadian Military Cemetery at Agira.
Gunner Rosenthal enlisted in the army in February 1942, and went overseas with the Royal Canadian Artillery in June of the same year.
Born in Montreal in 1921, he was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Saul Rosenthal of Hutchison Street.
Prior to his enlistment, he had worked for The Canadian Press. He had been an editor of the Fortnightly Review.
In one of his last reports to the Y.M.H.A. Beacon, he had written: And when the air is once again clear from the smoky dust of fire, and when the blood of the dead and the wounded is dry, and the stench of human bodies is pure, the men who are alive after victory is achieved, with God's aid, will return... "For they (the dead) shall not have fallen in vain.
Not in a world where our holy sanctuaries are safe and unmolested, in a world where organizations, institutions of culture and learning and education are respected and upheld and supported.No price is too great to pay. No life too precious, to enforce our beliefs and ideals".
(Canadian Jewish Congress publication: Canadian Jews in World War II, Part II Casualties.)".
