EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time during the First World War, as members of the Zion Mule Corps make their way along a dusty road in Palestine. Established in 1917 as part of the Jewish Legion section of the British Army, this unique unit was composed primarily of Jewish volunteers from various countries, who sought to contribute to the war effort while also working towards the dream of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. The soldiers in this image, all members of the Royal Fusiliers regiment, are seen here transporting supplies and equipment across the arid terrain on the backs of mules. The desolate landscape, characterized by its barren hills and endless expanse of sand, presents a stark contrast to the lush green fields and bustling cities they had left behind. The Zion Mule Corps played an essential role in the British campaign to capture Jerusalem from the Ottoman Turks, and their efforts helped pave the way for the establishment of the State of Israel decades later. The men in this photograph, with their determined expressions and weary postures, embody the spirit of perseverance and resilience that defined the soldiers of this remarkable unit. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women of the Zion Mule Corps during the First World War, and the enduring legacy of their contributions to both the war effort and the history of the Jewish people.
