3125557 Spr Samuel Kamensky (aka Shim, né Kaminski) of the Royal Engineers

16 July 1918

Shim is seen here in the uniform of the Royal Engineers. Unusually, his name does not appear on the World War I medal roll, so he either did not fight abroad, or did not fight abroad long enough to qualify for a medal. Considering

his Polish birth and carpenter's trade, it is most likely that he was employed in a factory of some kind in Britain

and did not fight abroad.
