The Monument for the Fallen Volunteers of the Jewish Community to the British Army during the Second World War

The monument stands in the National Military Cemetery on Mt. Herzl in Jerusalem. A  large rock of Jerusalem stone from the Castel quarries, with a Star of David carved in the center, designed as the emblem on the flag of the Jewish Brigade Group, and alluding to the Yellow Badge, honors the Jewish Community volunteers. Below the monument there is a paved square. The two walls surrounding the square are coated with slabs of polished Jerusalem stone. The following words are carved on the central wall of the monument: "Memorial for the Volunteers of the Jewish Community in the Second World War Fallen Abroad and not Buried in Israel" and the words of Isaiah "Here am I, send me" (6,8).

The names of the commemorated, 700 male and female soldiers, are carved on the wall beneath the rock, according to their units: The Jewish Brigade Group, the Palestinian Regiment, the R.E. (Royal Engineers), the R.A.S.C, the A.T.S (Auxiliary Territorial Service), the Pioneer Corps, the Royal Artillery, the Royal Navy, the Royal Air Force), the R.E.M.E. (Royal Electric and Mechanical Engineers), R.S.C. (Royal Signals Corps), R.A.M.C. (Royal Army Medical Corps), Military Intelligence, Commandos and Paratrooper Corps, those who fell on special missions and as emissaries of the British Army and the Jewish Community in Eretz Israel. The monument was erected in 1973 and was designed by architect Asher Hiram and sculptor Mordechai Kafri, who served in the Jewish Brigade. In 1980, the names of the fallen were carved in the stone.

A very popular spring flower, the anemone carpets the hillsides of Israel with red. They open with the sun and close at dusk.
