This collection contains records from The British Jewry Book of Honour, first published in 1922. It includes alphabetical lists of Jewish individuals from Britain and Commonwealth territories who served, fell, or were honoured during World War I. Some entries are accompanied by photographs, portraits, or letters of acknowledgment. Records typically include the individual’s name, service number, and details of their unit and regiment. The index of this collection was produced by MyHeritage from scanned images of the original documents<br><br>At the time of World War I, the Jewish community in Britain and the Commonwealth was diverse, encompassing various nationalities and cultural backgrounds. Jewish volunteers and conscripts enlisted in the British Forces based on their national origin rather than religious or ethnic identity. A significant development was the formation of the Jewish Legion in 1917, which allowed Jewish individuals worldwide—including non-British nationals and early settlers in pre-mandatory Palestine—to support the British war effort against the Ottoman Empire. The British Jewry Book of Honour was created to recognize these contributions and commemorate the role of Jewish servicemen in the British victory.
