Israel - a group of 3 silver medals on the subject of Ze'ev Zabotinsky / the Hebrew regiments - silver, total weight 106g, 99g net
The Hebrew Battalions are battalions of Jewish soldiers who operated as part of the British Army in the First World War, and some of them participated in the conquest of the Land of Israel from the Ottomans with the intention that their contribution would be credited to the right of the claim to establish a national home for the Jewish people in the Land of Israel when a new world order is established at the end of the war. The idea for establishing the battalions was Pinchas Rotenberg and Dov Bar Borochov, and was implemented by Ze'ev Jabotinsky and Yosef Trumpeldor, who aspired for the battalions to one day constitute the independent military force of the Jewish settlement in the Land of Israel. Their vision did not come true, as the battalions were disbanded shortly after the war, but their actions contributed greatly to the establishment of the Haganah organization (later, the infrastructure upon which the Israel Defense Forces was built).
