Zion Mule Corps in Gallipoli

Described as the first regular Jewish fighting force to take part in a war since 132 BC, The Zion Mule Corps not only had to contend with the Turks and cynicism about an alien force fighting as part of the British Army, but also with profound antisemitism amongst higher ranks of the Army. Robert Bieber MBE of King’s College London will discuss the group.
