American soldiers and trim-looking WAC’s formed the largest contingent of the inter-Allied Jewish formations which marched in procession today through the East End from Bevis Marks Synagogue to a concert at the Brady Clubs Settlement House.
During the special Chanukah services at the synagogue, prayers were offered by United States Chaplain Judah Nadich, of Chicago, for the victory of the United Nations. An American warrant officer named Weisgal kindled the menorah, while British and French chaplains recited traditional prayers. Also officiating were Capt. Gerson Levi of the Canadian Army Chaplain Corps, and Lieut. Kraus of the Czech forces in Britains.
