About 300 Jews, including high officers and doctors are among the Canadian forces which have arrived in England, according to Canadian Jewish soldiers. The soldiers said that hundreds of Jews were volunteering daily in Canada for overseas military service, many of them giving up good jobs. The friendliest relations prevail between the Jewish and non-Jewish members of the expeditionary force.
