British and Australian fliers who took part in the Syrian campaign gaily tripped the Hora, Palestine Jewish dance, today joined by Jewish settlers at festivities in Kibbutz Machnaim celebrating the termination of hostilities on the Palestine-Syrian front.
Refreshments were served, and the more serious side was also not ignored. The people listened to an address by one of the Jewish settlers who emphasized the Jewish contribution to the British war effort. The Jewish volunteers are fighting shoulder to shoulder with the allied forces for the common cause of freedom, he emphasized. A British officer replying, said that the allied forces greatly appreciate the assistance given them by the Jewish colonists in Palestine. “The Jewish hospitality extended to us during the Syrian campaign is especially appreciated by all of us”, he added.
