Large numbers of soldiers, Jewish and non Jewish, members of the Allied armies now stationed in Palestine, were among a crowd of many thousands who visited at the Wailing Wall yesterday. The traditional Jewish religious services, morning the destruction of the Temple, were held on the site of the ancient Temple. The Hebrew press in Palestine appeared on Tisha B’Ab in black bordered pages.
