Under the Crown

Jewish volunteers from the Eretz Israel in service with the British Army during the Second World War. Thousands of Jews in British Mandatory Palestine volunteered for service in Her Majesty's armed forces in the fight against the Nazis.

Throughout the course of the war, Jewish soldiers from Eretz Yisrael saw action both in the Middle East and later in Europe as part of the British Army's Jewish Brigade.
