Unsigned article from 1944, probably for the newspaper "Readers Digest" for publication to the newspaper "Paris" but the article was censured. The document describes and details the participation of the Jewish soldiers from Palestine serving in the British Army and their battles in Lybia and Egypt. 8500 Jewish soldiers participated in the war in North Africa and the Captain Pierre Koening honored them especially.
