Charles Ronald Marshall was born on the 28th May, 1926.
Cause of Death:
Killed on the morning of 12 December, an officer and three soldiers were shot from behind whilst in a Jeep in Herzl Street. When the shots were fired, the crowd immediately dispersed, and the two Jews who committed the outrage walked up the steps of a narrow passage into Nordau Street, where they sat down in Cafe Sternheim and took a coffee before returning, probably to Tel Aviv.
The officer and three soldiers were all seriously wounded, one having fallen out of the Jeep; and since no help came from any local Jew or Jewish doctor, the officer reorganized the party, and they drove to hospital by themselves, he changing gear, having been hit in the stomach and legs, while the driver, whose right arm and side had been hit, handled the steering wheel.
Private Marshall died on the way to hospital.
The incident was carried out by a Jew who was a member of Haganah, but he had acted contrary to Haganah orders. (Source: www.roll-of-honour.com)
