We perpetuate hereby the name of our brother Ya'akov Shmuskowitz hero of the Soviet Union and Finland. He was Lieutenant General and Chief of the Soviet Air Force. He was the most capable in our family. His parents loved him dearly as their first born and gifted [able] son. He completed a Russian 'middle school' and for a certain time he studied at the Yiddishe-Folkshul of the 'Kultur League.' He went to Soviet Russia and studied law. He then entered the ranks of the Russian Army and returned an invalid from the Japanese front missing a leg [foot]. Nevertheless, he still managed to establish a great military career for himself because of his great heroism and knowledge of the art of flying, both as a pilot and also as a theoretician. He became Chief of the Soviet Air Force. In honor of his enlightened memory! [from] his brothers Aaron and Yerachmiel Moss [Shmuskowitz] and their families Durban, South Africa
