Joseph Nossek

Corporal Joseph Nossek, who served under the name George Norris, was an English soldier of the British Army who died during the First World War.
He was born in 1895, in Westminster, the son of Polish-born parents Israel, a dealer in yeast by trade, and Leah Nossek.
Aged 21, Nossek died on 23 July 1916, during the Somme Offensive, while serving on the Western Front with the 2nd Battalion, The Royal Scots. His gravestone bore a cross until the Commonwealth War Graves Commission approved its replacement with a Star of David in 2013 after a prolonged campaign by his descendants.Dysch, Marcus (2013), The Jewish Chronicle: "Star of David to replace cross on First World War soldier's grave". 17 October 2013, thejc.com.
