High Commissioner Sir Arthur Grenfell Wauchope today promised a delegation of Jewish ex-servicemen a written reply to a memorandum asking unrestricted entry of Jewish veterans into the country.
The memorandum suggests honorable discharge papers from the British army be recognized as immigration certificates. The delegation also requested that the Government enlarge the ex-servicemen’s colony of Avichail to accommodate more veterans.
