ties for religious services for the
Jewish boys in the camps in Great
Britain. From my observation
there are many more Jewish sol-
diers and sailors in the Britisn
Isles than the Army authorities
realize. From their estimate they
assigned only three Jewish chap-
lains to Great Britain and I
found this number totally inade-
quate, even though they are be-
ing assisted by Jewish chaplains
in the British Army and by Prot-
estant and Catholic chaplains in
the American Army.
The three Jewish chaplains then
serving in England were definitely
overworked. As I said before, the
