Military authorities here today released the first casualty list of the Jewish Brigade. It discloses that five men were killed in action, three died of wounds and 52 were wounded.

Of the latter group, most insisted that they be allowed to remain in the line, but permission was granted only in the cases of those with slight wounds.

Several thousand Jewish soldiers of the United States and other Allied armies were among the 40,000 persons who visited the Wailing Wall during the week of Passover.
