		Although the Allied offensive at Gallipoli was unsuccessful, the efforts of the Zion Mule Corps were appreciated by the British, an outcome that encouraged the Allies to include Jewish troops in the conquest of Palestine.

		David Ben-Gurion was born in the town of Plonsk in Poland in 1886, the sixth offspring in a family steeped in Zionism.
		Regarding Zionism as a practical doctrine to be realized personally by immigration to the Land of Israel, he settled in Palestine in 1906, working as a laborer in the orange groves and the wine cellars of Jewish agricultural settlements established two decades earlier by the first Zionist settlers, and as a watchman in the Galilee.
		Ben-Gurion initially opposed a Jewish military unit in the British army such as Jabotinsky's Zion Mule Corps, fearing it would jeopardize the Jewish community in Palestine.

		On the other hand, the other Diaspora units --the Zion Mule Corps and the Jewish Legion in World War I; the Botwin Company in the Spanish Civil War; and the Jewish Brigade in World War II -- were all engaged in heavy combat, sometimes only for short periods during each of their relatively brief lives.
		It will be difficult to relate the history of the Zion Mule Corps, the Jewish Legion, and the Jewish Brigade without first discussing the role played by Vladimir Evgenevich Zhahotinskii or Ze'ev Jabotinsky, who is well-known to the students of the Zionist Movement, and his unceasing effort to establish Israel as the Jewish national homeland.
		When the Zion Mule Corps (ZMC) was activated in Egypt on 23 March 1915, he was appointed commanding officer with Trumpeldor as his second in command.

		I can offer you only one thing: to form a mule transport unit from your young people and send it to a different Turkish front.â Jabotinsky felt that this was an insult to the Jews, and refused.
		In April 1915, the Assyrian Jewish Refugee Mule Corps (soon known as the Zion Mule Corps), sailed from Egypt to Gallipoli with several hundred men and 750 mules.
		Acknowledging that he had been wrong about the Zion Mule Corps, Jabotinsky now accepted a commission as recruiting officer for the Jewish regiment.

	The Zion Muleteers of Gallipoli
		Although it was a mule corps, all were equipped with rifles and bayonets, as they were expected to be a fighting unit as well.
		By this time the Corps were badly needed to take up supplies to the front-line trenches holding the bridgehead, and once ashore they went straight to work, forming a human chain from ships to shore passing supplies and water onto land, all the while under enemy fire.
		On 3 March1916, as the Jewish Chronicle reported, a memorial to the fallen of the Corps was unveiled at the Chatby Jewish Cemetery, Alexandria, [xlxx] in the presence of representatives of all the Allied nations and of hundreds of veterans and others.

		Faced with the organized movement Ho- veve Zion (Lovers of Zion), an Eastern European forerunner of the Zionist Organization, preaching and practicing immigration and settlement in Palestine, the Turks imposed a dual prohibition on Jews: They forbade their entry for permanent residence in the country and their purchase of land.
		From the very beginning of the war the governor, Djemal Pasha, had treated the Jews of Palestine as a potential enemy, since he realized that to the Jews the Turks were the alien occupiers of their country and that Zionism was now an active force in the world.
		In response to the practical manifestations of Jewish collaboration with the Allies-the Zion Mule Corps in Gallipoli 1915, the campaign in Britain to create Jew- ish regiments, the Zionist pro-Allied campaign in the United States and elsewhere-Djemal became ever more fierce in his repressions.

		Colonel J.H. Patterson, Commander of the Zion Mule Corps and the Jewish Legion, went so far as to say that the "parallel between Jabotinsky and Winston Churchill was truly striking."

	The Anzac Walk - Anzac Cove
		In Anzac Gully behind the beach was Corps Headquarters and the dugout of the Corps commander, Lieutenant General Sir William Birdwood.
		Sir William could be seen most days swimming in the blue waters of the cove like thousands of other men who worked on the beach or who had come down in some ‘fatigue’ party from other parts of Anzac to fetch and carry materials back to their own positions.
		Day and night the Cove was full of the noises and sights of a great harbour – launches with tows moving constantly in and out, the shrill whistles of small crafts, the hoots of trawlers, the rattle of anchor-chains, the hiss of escaping steam.

		Born in 1880 and raised in Odessa by a formerly well to-do merchant family, Jabotinsky came to Zionism in the wake of the disastrous 1903 Kishinev pogrom.
		Although Jabotinsky was a talented Russian language journalist, during the First World War he created what was at first a Jewish transport brigade in the British army, the Zion Mule Corps, but later became the Jewish Legion, which played a role in driving the Turks from Palestine in 1918.
		After the war, Jabotinsky settled in Jerusalem and fought (unsuccessfully) with an increasingly unsympathetic British administration in order to maintain the Jewish Legion as an officially recognized unit entrusted to defend the Jewish community in Palestine.
