April 10, 1948
Dear Sir:
When a real and final catastrophe should befall us in Palestine the first responsible for it would be the British and the second responsible for it the Terrorist organizations build up from our own ranks.
I'm not willing to see anybody associated with those misled and criminal people.
Sincerely yours,
Albert Einstein.
As stated by United Nations General Assembly Resolution 194 (III) 11 December 1948
Having considered further the situation in Palestine,
...
11. Resolves that the refugees wishing to return to their homes and live at peace with their neighbours should be permitted to do so at the earliest practicable date, and that compensation should be paid for the property of those choosing not to return and for loss of or damage to property which, under principles of international law or in equity, should be made good by the Governments or authorities responsible;
Instructs the Conciliation Commission to facilitate the repatriation, resettlement and economic and social rehabilitation of the refugees and the payment of compensation, and to maintain close relations with the Director of the United Nations Relief for Palestine Refugees and, through him, with the appropriate organs and agencies of the United Nations;
Free Palestine!

Three officers having a chat - wearing trench waders
Image by National Library of Scotland
Mud-splattered officers wearing trench waders enjoying a chat. This image shows three mud-splattered officers wearing trench waders enjoying a light-hearted chat. The fact that their feet are not visible on the ground gives an indication of how deep the mud was. As shown by this image, it was not just the enemy that front line soldiers had to fight against: it was also the terrible conditions and subsequent illnesses. The combination of mud, rats, lice and rotting corpses ensured that disease was rife and the stench overpowering. 'Trench Foot and 'Trench Fever were just two of the infections that stemmed directly from the appalling living conditions. In his autobiography, 'Goodbye to All That, Robert Graves describes in graphic detail what life and death was like in the trenches, and highlights the large number of suicides that took place. Siegfried Sassoon also wrote about the suicides - and suicides by proxy - that took place in the Allied trenches.

New 5.9 gun captured by us - gun was finished on 13th Feb.,1917
Image by National Library of Scotland
The huge gun carriage in the middle of the image, and the specially dug ditch it is sitting in, are given scale by the two soldiers in the background. They are working around a similar gun, in a very similar position. There is none of the whirlwind activity and hard work normally associated with artillery crews, evident in this picture. This photograph is thought to have been taken by John Warwick Brooke.
5.9 inch guns were so heavy that manoeuvring them was a real problem. To overcome this they were mounted on rails, although this involved more co-ordination and preparation for an attack. During 1917 Germany produced on average 400 pieces of artillery a month, compared to Britain's 540 pieces per month.
