We will also be taking part in a UK-wide commemoration of the centenary of The British Jewry Book of Honour, led by the We Were There Too project https://www.jewsfww.uk/. Visitors will be able to view this 1,000 page plus volume, which contains some 50,000 records of Jews who served in the armed forces during the conflict between 1914-1918, as well as a number of photographs. There will also be the opportunity to view the historic Garnethill Synagogue.Photos: Jewish soldiers outside Graham Street Synagogue in Edinburgh, 1917; Rev. Dr. I.K. Cosgrove, long-term minister of Garnethill Hebrew Congregation, was Senior Jewish Chaplain to the armed forces in Scotland during the Second World War and a pioneer in interfaith relations in Glasgow.
