Max Hirshovitz was born in Russia on October 30, 1898 and immigrated to Boston, MA. Hirshovitz and his family settled in Boston, living first at 45 Irving Street then at 47 Wall Street. In 1917, when he was eighteen, HIrshovitz applied for U.S. citizenship. He was in the National Guard prior to graduating High School. Max graduated from the Boston High School of Commerce in 1917 and immediately enlisted into the Army.  Max served during World War I with the rank of Corporal. He deployed to France in 1918 with the 26th (“Yankee”) Division and participated as part of operations near Chateau-Thierry in the summer of 1918.  Corporal Hirshovitz was killed in action by an enemy shell on July 23, 1918 near the French town of Trugny. He was posthumously awarded a Purple Heart and brought back home to be buried at Montefiore Cemetery in Woburn, Massachusetts. Max was survived by his parents, Father Jacob Hirshovitz, mother Minnie Hirshovitz and his five siblings.
