Binder of Photographs, Letters and Documents from a Jewish Soldier who Served in the British Army in Israel During WWII
Binder of documents belonging to a British Jewish soldier, Noah Griver, who served in the framework of the engineer's corps - REME.
The Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers – REME - was an independent munitions unit established by the British in 1942, for the purpose of supplying high-quality arms services to the forces in North Africa, services which were essential to supply independently due to the distance from England. There were 4 Jewish companies in the forces, which were mainly staffed by EretzYisraeli volunteers and Jews.
The collection contains:
* 58 photographs from the early 1940s.
EretzYisraeli photographs: The Western Wall, the Temple Mount, Yad Avshalom, the Old City, the Mount of Olives, the kings' tomb, and other photographs from Jerusalem.
Photographs from the battle for North Africa and from his army service: Photographs from El Alamein, Tobruk, Benghazi; from Cairo - including the pyramids, the Sphinx, etc.; from Sicily, Naples and Mount Vazov.
* Personal letters from the period of the war.
* War medal from his army service: The "Africa Star," with a rosette at center and emblems of his unit.
* Telegram sent to him as a member of a veterans' society, with an invitation to an urgent meeting on the occasion of the establishment of the State of Israel, on May 14, 1948.
