Description: Black and white postcard featuring the Brighton Hebrew Congregation Roll of Honour tablet at Middle Street Synagogue, Brighton.

The inscription in Hebrew translates as 'We shall be strong for our Nation and for our God', below which is is a quote by Hermann Adler (1839-1911), Chief Rabbi of the British Empire, which reads 'Surely England deserves that we her Jewish children should gladly live and die for her'. The memorial was erected in honour of those who joined His Majesty's Forces in the Great War and was executed by Harris and Son, sculptors, located at Beaumont Works, 216 Mile End Road, Manor Park and Southend-on-Sea.
