Many thanks for the piece on the Jewish Brigade, surprisingly enough I don't remember previously seeing that particular article, where does it come from ?

Hi Warlord

If you would like to "flesh out" the Jewish Brigade story provided by Gerry, you could do worse than use this link: BBC - WW2 People's War - Sgt.Major Mick Goldstein, Royal Fusiliers and Jewish Brigade
to read about my dear late brother Mick who was a British volunteer in the same unit

Cheers

Ron
