Sixty All-jewish Units Serving with British Forces, Jewish Agency Reports

There are now sixty all-Jewish units in the British armed forces and 300 of their officers are Jewish, it is disclosed today in a review issued by the Jewish Agency here.

The total number of Palestine Jews serving under the British flag is about 22,000, the report says with 700 in the Navy and 3,000 women in the Auxiliary Territorial Service, and the remainder in the Army and Royal Air Force. There are also 6,000 Jews among the supernumerary police in Palestine and 8,000 in the regular police.

The Agency review states that the efforts of the Palestinian Jews are directed toward: 1- Maximum participation in the war effort. 2- Saving European Jewry. 3- Maintaining their existing position. 4- Expanding their economic activities. 5- Laying the groundwork for a permanent solution of the Jewish problem after the war.
