WHAT BRITISH JEWS HAVE
DONE IN THE GREAT WAR.
Book Of Honor Will Record Their Part

London-More than 10000 Br1tlst
Jews fought in the Great War large
number of whom made the supreme
achievement British Jewry Book OF
Honor has been prepared containing
the names of these 5000 Jews who
responded to the call. No finer testi'
mony can be conceived to the splen'
did part played by British Jewry. an'!
it gives the lie direct to those who
claim that the Jews failed to do their
share when the future OF their country
and their Empire was at stake. Far
too much has been heard of Jewish
shirkers; far too little of Jewish he
roes.
British Jews have vindicatcd their
right to British citizenship. They
have proved conclusively that they
are part and parcel of the Empire.
Great Britain was the first country to
cmuncipate the Jews. This was in
1854. For sixty years the Jews had
to await the opportunity of justifyinS
that emancipation. When the Oppor
tunity did present itself it was seized
with spontaniety and enthusiasm.

edited by the Rev. Michael Adler. d.

who gave up all that they held most
dear in order that they might go

more remarkable in the whole course
Of their long history than the way IN
which the Jews came forward from
all corners of the British Empire tn
play their part, thinking not of them
selves but Of the great cause at stake.
In doing this they asserted before the
eyes of the world all that is great and
