With the Judæans in the Palestine Campaign

A commanding officer recounts raising and leading a Jewish infantry battalion, describing recruitment and training in England, embarkation for the Near East, and frontline operations across Palestine. The narrative combines battlefield reports—advances, defensive positions, captures, and logistical problems—with daily regimental life, religious observances, sporting competitions, and medical and administrative controversies. It details frictions with the expeditionary staff, restrictions placed on soldiers' access to sacred sites, and outbreaks of local unrest, while reflecting on the unit's martial performance and its perceived significance for Jewish aspirations of return to the Promised Land.
