Burial/memorial information
Son of Moses M. Cohen of Toronto, Ontario. Lt. Cohen received his commission in April 1915, in the 77th Wentworth Regiment. In 1916, he sailed for England and two months later was ordered to France, attached to the 42nd Canadian Royal Highlanders, (Black Watch). On 3 November 1917, Lt. Cohen was ordered to storm a strong enemy position at Paschendaele. At the head of his men he reached his objective. No reinforcements were available and with his few men he held the position until all were killed. A special panel, commemorating the bravery of Lt. Cohen has been inserted in the memorial window erected in the church of St. Andrews and St. Paul, at Montreal, Quebec, in honour of the officers and men of the 42nd Royal Highlanders who fell during the war. The special panel represents King David, when as a a youth he fought in the ranks of the armies of the Lord of Hosts, the God of the armies of Israel.
