The family name was changed legally from Sklanovitch in 1924 after Harris&#8217; birth. The Sklanovitch family originated from Poland. The Sklan family were cabinet makers in the East End of London and the Tibber family manufactured raincoats. In 1939 the family were living at 13 Brunswick Terrace in Hove, Sussex. At the outbreak of war Harris&#8217;s mother, sisters, aunts and cousins were sent to North America only returning when the war was over. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Harris was a medical student who enlisted in 1943. In 1947 he was based at RAF St Athan working in the Medical Branch. He died in an accident at the station in 1947. His death certificate states that he died from misadventure due to asphyxia due to inhalation of cyclopropane.    <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"872\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/H-S-Sklan-700x872.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/H-S-Sklan-700x872.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/H-S-Sklan-250x312.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/H-S-Sklan-768x957.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/H-S-Sklan-1233x1536.jpg 1233w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/H-S-Sklan-1644x2048.jpg 1644w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/H-S-Sklan-120x150.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/H-S-Sklan.jpg 1833w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption>\u00a9 Cathie Hewitt<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"689\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Sklanovitch-700x689.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10359\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Sklanovitch-700x689.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Sklanovitch-250x246.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Sklanovitch-768x756.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Sklanovitch-120x118.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Sklanovitch.jpg 1172w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"866\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1939-Sklan-700x866.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1939-Sklan-700x866.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1939-Sklan-250x309.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1939-Sklan-768x950.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1939-Sklan-1242x1536.jpg 1242w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1939-Sklan-1656x2048.jpg 1656w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1939-Sklan-120x148.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"152\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/COL734404_2020-1-HARRIS_SAMUEL_SKLAN-page-001-700x152.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10362\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/COL734404_2020-1-HARRIS_SAMUEL_SKLAN-page-001-700x152.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/COL734404_2020-1-HARRIS_SAMUEL_SKLAN-page-001-250x54.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/COL734404_2020-1-HARRIS_SAMUEL_SKLAN-page-001-768x166.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/COL734404_2020-1-HARRIS_SAMUEL_SKLAN-page-001-1536x333.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/COL734404_2020-1-HARRIS_SAMUEL_SKLAN-page-001-2048x443.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/COL734404_2020-1-HARRIS_SAMUEL_SKLAN-page-001-120x26.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Harris Samuel Sklan Corporal, RAF St AthanService number 2252676Died 21 Dec 1947Buried Willesden Jewish CemeteryAge 23 Headstone Inscription&#8216;AT THE GOING DOWN OF THE SUN AND IN THE MORNING WE WILL REMEMBER HIM&#8217;
