We have already encountered the work of
Yehuda Weisberg, who was killed in the Israeli war of independence in 1948. On 17.5.1957,
Davar dedicated its chess column to his memory, noting he had 'made a name for himself in retrograde analysis'. Indeed he had.
Davar published a previously-unknown retrograde analysis problem by him, which is -- I believe -- seen here in English for the first time. (The usual
caveats about originally being hard to prove apply.)

(It's harder --
much harder -- than it looks!)
