As a result, for the first time in over a century, since fallen Jewish soldiers serving in the British army were buried in Palestine during the First World War, they were honored by an army that hadn’t even existed in their lifetimes. As the sirens sounded over Jerusalem, two IDF lieutenant-colonels saluted the graves of 24 Jewish soldiers buried in the British War Cemetery on Mount Scopus. The cemetery is run by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, which is funded by the British government in partnership with the governments of Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand and South Africa, whose soldiers fought alongside Britain in the war, and is responsible for 23,000 burial sites around the world. The official Memorial Day in these cemeteries is the one observed every year by Britain and the Commonwealth on the second Sunday of November. For Jewish soldiers buried in British cemeteries in Israel, there are two memorial days.
