Numerous Jewish
Heroes Recorded
Among the Cohens
LONDON . (JTA)—under the
heading "Another Cohen Does it,"
the London papers this week
featured the announcement that
Capt. Henry G. Cohen, a Mel-
bourne-born Jew who resides in
London, has been awarded the
George Medal for gallantry in
North Africa.
The official citation states that
Capt. Cohen, who is attached to
the Pioneer Corps, showed "con-
stant disregard for personal
danger." The reference in the
newspapers to "another Cohen"
was occasioned by the fact that
last week-end the press was fill-
ed with the story of Sgt. Sidney
Cohen, who inadvertently secur-
ed the surrender of the Italian
island of Lampedusa when his
patrol plane was forced to land
there when it ran out of Jas.,
(From American headquarters
in North Africa this week came
the report of still another Cohen
being cited for heroism. This one
is Capt. Moses Cohen, a New
York City physician, who has
