Book of Jewish Thoughts London 1917

This little one is Special.  It was owned by Rev. Michael Adler, Senior Jewish Chaplain BEF and used in a field hospital!

ChatGPT:Rev. Michael Adler, the first Jewish chaplain to serve with the British Army in the field during World War I, became a tireless advocate for the dignity and spiritual needs of Jewish soldiers at the front. He was instrumental in establishing the Magen David as the official emblem on the graves of fallen Jewish servicemen, ensuring they would be honored with a distinct and respectful marker. Beyond the battlefield, Adler documented Jewish service in the war and preserved countless records, shaping the historical memory of Anglo-Jewry’s contribution to the Allied effort.
