The Jewish Legion, comprising several battalions of the Royal Fusiliers within the British Army, was formed during World War I from Jewish volunteers worldwide. These soldiers, driven by Zionist ideals and the aspiration for a Jewish homeland, actively participated in the British effort to liberate Palestine from Ottoman rule, particularly distinguishing themselves in the Palestine Campaign from 1917-1918.
