Rare WW2 palestine 3rd British Jewish Brigade soldier letter Haganah 1944 army
The Jewish units in the British army were the melting pot of the new immigrants from the various postcards, with the people of the country. A place where the common denominator was Hebrew and the national Hebrew spirit. From its inception, the Hebrew volunteerism was characterized by the British army, in its quest to emphasize its national uniqueness within the foreign framework in which it was based. This effort is reflected in the struggle over the Hebrew language, the blue and white flag, the symbol and the authority to sing the anthem. The Hebrew language pushed the mother tongues of the volunteers into semi-official language in the army, so that in "mixed" units the orders were published in both languages. On the other hand, the units that became Hebrew units were proud that all the orders on the parade ground were purely Hebrew and the Sabbath was the official day of rest in the unit. The main theme shared by all was the desire to take an active part in the front. In the Yishuv's eyes, the Jewish units symbolized the contribution to the war effort.
With the establishment of the Palestine Regiment and infantry battalions in the summer of 1942, the old Baps Company was organized within the First and Second Battalions, and it was determined that the Third Battalion, the Jewish Regiment, would consist of two regiments of recruits trained in Sarafand (22- ) And from the companies that would be mobilized in their wake (later, companies 28-C, 26-D and 30-H).
On the eve of the declaration of the establishment of the Jewish Brigade on September 20, 1944, the battalion was ordered to move to Egypt, and was the first to reach the assembly area of the Brigade in Burj al Arab, west of Alexandria.
