Rabbi Adler was the first Jewish military chaplain to the British Army to serve in time of war. In this massive work consisting of over 1,000 pages, he records the names and units of the approximately 50,000 Jewish soldiers and sailors of the British Empire and Dominions who served, were killed, or were decorated during World War I. A 364-page sections of photographs of individuals can be found in the back with an index on image 642. He was responsible for the Star of David (Magen David) being carved on the headstones of Jewish soldiers who died in wartime instead of the traditional cross, as he describes on image 69, which was also adopted by the United States.
