Rosenberg, P.

During the First World War he lived in Leeds, England, and volunteered for the Jewish Legion – the 39th Battalion of the King’s Rifles. Together with the battalion he arrived in Palestine to participate in the conquest of the Turks. He fought in front of Jericho and in the conquest of a-Salt. At the beginning of October 1918, the battalion conducted an arduous journey on foot from Salat to Jerusalem, escorted by Turkish prisoners, and many of the soldiers fell ill, including Rosenberg. On the 16th of Cheshvan (22.10.1918), he died of his illness and was brought to eternal rest in the British military cemetery on Mount Scopus. His name was commemorated at the “Soldiers’ House” in Avihail.
