Embroidered Band – Jewish Legion – World War I
A blue, white and golden band. Embroidered in the center is the legend "Bead Kvod Amenu" [for the honor of our people] with Stars of David on the sides, and narrow bands are sewn on the sides for tying. [1910s or early 1920s].
Presumably, this band belonged to a soldier in the Jewish Legion. The colors of the band are identical to the colors of the flag of the "HaRishon LeYehuda" (First Judeans) battalion of the Jewish Legion and the embroidered slogan echoes the slogan of the battalion – "Bead Amenu uBead Artzenu" (a slogan chosen by Ze'ev Jabotinsky).
Approx. 88X2.5 cm (including tying bands). Good condition. Stains. Unraveling to tying bands. Minor blemishes to embroidery.
Provenance: Rimon Family Collection.
