‎SHLOMO a JEWISH LEGION MEMBER‎

‎1919 SUPERB SIGNIFICANT ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT LETTER HAND WRITTEN BY A YOUNG JEWISH LEGION MEMBER LIKELY FROM HOLLAND DETAILING THE ASPIRATIONS AND FRUSTRATIONS OF A ZIONIST ASSIGNED TO ONE OF THE MOST UNSETTLED AND CONFLICTED POST WWI AREAS ON EARTH‎

‎DAMASCUS PRE SYRIA POST OTTOMAN EMPIRE. Fair. 1919. On offer is a powerful poignant letter written by an early Zionist and volunteer of the Jewish Legion in Damascus immediately after the end of WW1. The letter contains 2 double-sided sheets measuring 9' x 5.8' and an envelope measuring 5.9' x 4.9'. The envelope has no inscriptions or stamps except a round sticker with bookseller's name - "Coles" the sheets are yellowed and torn in half at folds but it does not affect the text which is perfectly legible. The letter is written in Hebrew addressed to Shimon and signed by Shlomo Solomon. It seems from the context that they are very close friends. The first page bears the date and place: Damascus August 20 1919. It is also clear that the author was a Dutch Jew who had lived in Eretz Israel for some time before joining the military. Based on the date when he joined the army summer 1918 and other context it can be said with high level of certainty that he was a member of the Jewish Legion. The Jewish Legion was the name of 39th through 42nd Battalions of the Royal Fusiliers in the British Army that were formed of Jewish volunteers. The formation of a Jewish Regiment was initiative of Zeev Jabotinsky and Joseph Trumpeldor promoted by John Henry Patterson. Among its members were also David Ben-Gurion Dov Hoz Yitzhak Ben-Zvi Yakov Drori Levi Eshkol and other famous Zionist leaders many later became members of Haganah and laid the foundation of the Israel Defence Army. The initial unit Zion Mule Corps was formed in 1914 - 1915 in August 1917 formation of a Jewish regiment was officially announced in spring and summer 1918 volunteers from Palestine joined 39th and 40th Battalions and started service. That's exactly when the author volunteered: "My Dear Shimon some time ago I received your last letter probably the first one that you wrote to me in Hebrew and now I have a little more time and will answer to you when I am calm also in Hebrew - now I have been a soldier for over a year but what we hoped for when we volunteered for the Army was not realized.". There is something deeply moving in this letter full of thoughts about the future of Israel: "Until there is Jewish Army in the full sense of the word probably a long time must pass. This moment has not come yet. Unfortunately that's what we feel deep in our hearts. But anyway these times have been times of very important and interesting experiments and in this sense this time --- has not been lost" p.1; ".it is not possible yet to breathe freely much is still missing we can only hope that soon . the way out of the darkness the uncertainty where we are now will become clear that it will be possible to start large great fruitful work the giant work requiring all our spiritual and physical efforts without a second thought of each and each of us . to achieve our supreme goal our people living in the Land of Israel - happy people in fertile land" p.2. He has acute interest in current affairs of the Zionist movement writing about the convention of the Va'ad HaPoel HaZioni The Action Committee that was convening in London in the last week of August. The purpose of the congress was to work out principles of the Zionist movement in the era after the WW1 and the Balfour Declaration: ".Only when all great difficulties will be defeated when the situation is settled. This is our heart hope! . the convention that will be now in London will contribute to clearing up the situation. Is this convention a sort of a congress of representatives from all countries also from Germany and Austria Otherwise it is not a general convention and it will not have any authority to make declarations in the name of all Zionism". He is particularly interested in developments in Zionist movement in Holland mentioning names of some noted Dutch Zionists. He writes about his mood and frustrations from the army service and mentions his family: "I want for once to live like a human being because life in the army is not life at the end. ---. I have been sent to work at different army offices and now I am in Damascus. It is interesting to see some of the world this way but that is not what I have volunteered to the Hebrew army for. But what to do ----. And I do not think that I will be able to get back to life until the next summer. I also wanted to go and see the mother and everyone and breathe a little different air after a while." He asks Shimon about his plans to come: "What do you think about coming to Israel And what do they think about your preparations . I have not seen any Dutch that came to Israel so far. Neither De Haan nor Van Friesland nor . I hope now to be near Jaffa and Jerusalem. What about the other that you wrote would come here". De Haan was a Dutch Jewish writer and journalist who became interested in Judaism and Zionism he actually moved to Israel the same year later became close with Orthodox community and get into conflict with secular Zionists 5 years later he was killed by Haganah members for his anti-Zionist activity. In the letter Shlomo also asks about his letters published by Handelsblad the most important daily newspaper in Holland.

‎"Au cours des quinze années pendant lesquelles il a servi, d'abord à la Légion étrangère, puis dans l'infanterie de marine, L'auteur a eu l'occasion de visiter un assez grand nombre de nos colonies et de prendre part à quelques-unes des grandes expéditions de ces derniers temps : celles du Dahomey, de Madagascar, et enfin la campagne de Chine de 1900-1901, entreprise à la suite de l'insurrection des Boxers, et qui avait été elle même précédée en 1898 de l'occupation du territoire de Quang-Tchéou-Wan, dans la Chine méridionale, par un corps de débarquement dont l'auteur fit encore partie. Dans l'intervalle de ces quatre campagnes, le soldat Silbermann fut employé quelque temps au Tonkin à surveiller des travaux de route et il séjourna successivement en Algérie, en Siam et en Cochinchine. Les souvenirs qu'il publie sur les différents pays qu'il a connus et les expéditions auxquelles il a pris part sont généralement vivants et se lisent avec plaisir. A noter surtout le long chapitre (p. 176-281) consacré au récit de la campagne de Chine, qui donne, sur l'occupation par les Français des tombeaux impériaux, et sur les rapports qui existèrent entre les troupes des différentes nations, des renseignements détaillés et interéssants."
