Chaim Mordechai ben Moshe faldt i krig for sit folk 26. Nisan  5704  21 år gammel
Må hans sjæl være bundet i livets bylt. (Oversættelse fra Eduard Hartogsohn, som tilføjer
at  5704 er år 5704 efter den jødiske tidsregning fra verdens skabelse.)
De fem bogstaver, T  N  Ts  B  H, der står nederst på en jødisk gravsten, er forbogstaver for de fem ord:
tehi nafsho tserurah betseror hachajjim - må hans sjæl være bundet i livets knippe/bylt/pose.)

4 flyvere fra STI EH955 blev begravet i Gram. 3 blev krigsfanger. De blev sendt til Tyske krigsfangelejre.

Chaim Mordechai ben Moshe fell in war for his people 26. Nisan  5704 at the age of 21
May his soul be bound up in the bond of everlasting life.
(Translation from Eduard Hartogsohn who adds that the date is from the Jewish calendar, here year 5704 after the creation of the world. The letters T N Ts B H at the bottom of a Jewish gravestone are from the words tehi nafsho tserurah betseror hachajjim meaning May his soul be bound up in the bond of everlasting life.)
