The names of two British Jews were on the lists of those honored on the occasion of the New Year by King George.
Among those knighted are Meyer Adam Spielman, brother of the late Isidore Spielman and Charles Samuel Nathan of Perth, Western Australia, who in 1926 was named C.B.E. in recognition of his services to the Commonwealth of Australia.
Meyer Spielman was knighted in recognition of his services as a public and communal worker. He has acted as Inspector of Reformatory and Industrial Schools and is the author of “The Romance of Child Reclamation.” He is one of the founders and chairman of the Hayes School and the Park House School. He is honorary secretary of the Association of Managers of Certified Home Office Schools and is president of the Bread, Meat and Coals Charity and a member of the executive of the Anglo-Jewish Association.
