 Mosze Szymon Bursztyn (Originally Sawicki)
The "Anders Army" was established in July 1941, after the German attack on the Soviet Union.
When the "Anders Army" left the Soviet Union on its journey towards the Middle East, families of the soldiers and groups of Jewish children, war orphans, joined the Jewish soldiers.
The soldiers who deserted the "Anders Army," thanks to their army expertise, contributed greatly to the defense of the Jewish settlement in Israel, and later on also fulfilled the important role of laying down the foundations of Zahal, especially the tank, armored, and medical corps.

 Lenni Brenner: Zionism in the Age of the Dictators (Chap. 22)
Nevertheless some of the officers at the army’s staging area in Samara Oblast were old associates of the Revisionists and believed they would be doing the Jews a favour by separating them into their own units; and Colonel Jan Galadyk, the former commandant of the pre-war infantry officers’ school, volunteered to lead such a battalion.
Anders’ Army finally left the Soviet Union for Iran, where they linked up with the British military; the anti-Semites tried to leave behind as many Jews as possible and healthy youths were rejected for service.
Anders was right when he told his officers that the Jews always had the ability to pressurise the British on the question of anti-semitism in the Polish armed forces, and the success of the Driberg-Foot intervention in 1944 shows what could be done.

 The Best Feeding The Best - A Brief History of Army Food Service
Not perfect by any means, but their overall effectiveness lent more than passing truth to the notion that General John J. Pershing’s doughboys were the best-fed army in World War I. Likewise, their courage under fire from 1917 to 1918 often earned for them a level of respect usually reserved for combat veterans alone.
Army cooks saw the overall consumption of nearly 13 billion pounds of meat and an estimated 12 billion pounds of fresh, dehydrated and canned vegetables.
Still in all, Army cooks in the Korean Conflict from 1950 to 1953 found themselves using much the same types of rations and equipment as their World War II counterparts of a few years back.
