Memorial services for Jewish soldiers who fell at the front with the British legions were held here in conjunction with the British Legion battlefield’s pilgrimage.
The Reverends Adler, Gallop and Stern, chaplains in the British army, conducted the services at Meningate in memory of 134 Jewish soldiers whose names are recorded on the Meningate memorial among the 52,000 who fell there but whose graves are not known.
A large attendance of relatives were present and many wept when the prayer for the dead was recited.
