EDITORS COMMENTS
This enlarged edition Prayer Book for Jewish Sailors and Soldiers, published by Eyre & Spottiswoode Ltd. in 1916, bears the stamp of Rev. I. Frankenthal, Jewish Chaplain, Alexandria District, on page 16. The book once belonged to 355678 Sergeant A. Isaacs of the 25th Battalion Royal Welsh Fusiliers during World War I. During the First World War, the spiritual needs of Jewish soldiers and sailors were catered to with the publication of such prayer books. This edition, with its distinctive blue cover, was specifically designed for enlisted men and featured larger print for easier reading in the field. The book's history is marked by the stamp of Rev. Frankenthal, who served as a Jewish chaplain during the war, providing spiritual guidance and support to Jewish soldiers under his care. The book was likely issued to Sergeant Isaacs upon his enlistment or assignment to the 25th Battalion Royal Welsh Fusiliers. The Prayer Book for Jewish Sailors and Soldiers is an important historical artifact, reflecting the diversity and inclusivity of the British military during WWI. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by Jewish soldiers and the efforts made to ensure their religious needs were met while serving their country.
