The Jews of the Empire and the Great War, Rabbi Michael Adler, the Chief Military Rabbi – London 1919 – Signature of the Author – Most Rare
Booklet in English published by Hodder and Stoughton by Rabbi Michael Adler (1868-1944), the Chief Military Rabbi of Britain during World War I. Hand-signed by the author!
The booklet describes the part the Jews of the British Empire played during World War I.
90% of the England-born Jews of the right age volunteered for the British army. Many of them received various decorations. Five received the Victoria Cross – the highest decoration of the British army. Several Jewish officers were most outstanding; among them was General John Monash, who commanded the Australian army in France and was knighted by King George the Fifth.
Before us is an important, interesting reference to the subject by Rabbi Michael Adler, the Chief Military Rabbi of Britain, signed by him.
16 pp.
Condition: Very Good.
