First World War

WWI deserves its own section, with information on all relevant armies. Germany: Die Jüdischen Gefallenen des Deutschen Heeres, der Deutschen Marine und der Deutschen Schutztruppen (1932)

British Empire: British Jewry Roll of Honour (1922), page 4-5

"As far as existing records testify, some 50,000 Jews from the beginning to the end of the war were in some branch of His Majesty's Forces."
"Casualties: 334 officers fallen in action or died on active service; 2,091 non-commissioned officers and men fallen in action or died on active service; 6,500 wounded; total 8,925"
"5 Victoria Cross; 15 Order of St. Michael and St. George; 49 Distinguished Service Order, 263 Military Crosses; 11 Distinguished Flying Cross; 144 Order of the British Empire; 85 Distinguished Conduct Medals; 329 Military Medals."

Missing sources on the Ottoman Empire (Jews were conscripted, but there were also volunteers like Moshe Sharett), Austria-Hungary, Russian Empire, France, US and smaller nations (Bulgaria had some notable Jewish soldiers). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.178.29.88 (talk) 01:59, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

First Crusade

I have a small amount of material from scholarly sources that mention Jewish soldiers defending Jerusalem during the First Crusade. However, I fear it might be too small for its own section. How could we incorporate this into the article? --Ghostexorcist 19:32, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind. I noticed that some of the current entries were just as short or shorter than the info I have. I'll add it shortly. --Ghostexorcist 20:02, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Go ahead, short bits become the seeds of bigger and better articles. IZAK —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 05:07, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jews in military organizations

I'm curious if this article is just focused on organized military groups that were exclusively Jewish, or can it be broadened to include Jewish military leadership? What about anti-Semitism in the military? Articles about Jewish military leaders in the German, Russian and American military would be complex and interesting.
