Broadside recruitment plea for the Jewish Brigade Group in Palestine. Great Britain had ruled Palestine under a League of Nations mandate since 1920. Palestinian units had been part of the British Army since 1940. The Jewish Brigade was established in September 1944. It included more than 5000 Jewish volunteers living in Palestine and was the only independent, national Jewish unit to serve in WWII. The Group served under the Zionist flag. It served in combat during the final battles for the liberation of Italy. The British dissolved the Brigade in the summer of 1946.
