His nephew, Baron Eshed, writes the following:
Baron Eshed I wrote the story of my uncle in a separate .. " Shimon Eshed
My Uncle Shimon Eshed At Fourteen, he left home went to a kibbutz. .. This is what the family thought ..Fourteen he joined the "youth worker" in military training and came along with these young people to Galilee, where he sat there for two years, and suffered there - the Israeli pioneer spirit,That left its mark on him, until his death.16 years old, joined the Palmach fighters. Apparently falsified his age.
After a very short time, he was appointed to a combat platoon leader
A short time later, an officer of the rank of lieutenant.
Participated in the Battle of Safed, and on Mount Canaan, and a breakthrough for Jerusalem,
Fighting for Latrun, participated in "Operation Dani".
Finally .. Was sent to fight for the Negev ..
In battle, on the Negev, ,the bullet hit him from Egypt, and the bullet was in his chest and about twenty-four hours. That's what his friends said. And could not get to a doctor. Year was 09.09.1948.
He died at the age of 16 and a half. My father's brother that died and we have not seen him.
But my father was crying about all the time .. He was a single brother
And another sister named Esther..
The candle here, I turned now to remember.
May his memory be blessed.
Amen...........
