Samuel Myers attested for the Queen's Royal Regiment, and later transferred to the Seaforth Highlanders. He served with the 2nd Battalion on the North West Frontier of India in the early 1930s, and then with the Battalion in Haifa, Palestine, from September 1933. He served during the Second World War with the 4th (Territorial) Battalion, Seaforth Highlanders, as part of 152nd Brigade, 51st Highland Division. The 152nd Brigade was in effect destroyed at St Valery-en-Caux on 12 June 1940 and surrendered. Myers was listed as ‘Missing in Action’ in France 1940, and was not found again until January 1944; intriguingly, he was not listed as being made a Prisoner of War when his Battalion surrendered.
He is confirmed on the WW2 AJEX (The Association of Jewish Ex-Servicemen and Women) roll.
