ABOUT SGT MOE HURWITZ, DCM, MM
Sergeant Moe Hurwitz was the most highly decorated non-commissioned member of the Canadian Grenadier Guards during the Second World War and may have been the most decorated Jewish Canadian soldier of the war. Hurwitz was born and raised in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, as one of thirteen children, most of whom served in the war. He was, prior to enlisting, a Golden Gloves boxer and a very talented hockey player. In fact, the Boston Bruins invited him to try out for them, but he chose, instead, to enlist in the Canadian Army (Canadian Grenadier Guards) when war broke out. His brother served in the Royal Canadian Navy during WW2.Created By
