H. Patterson is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This narrative chronicles the formation and experiences of the first Jewish Battalion in the British Army during World War I, specifically focusing on its involvement in the Palestine Campaign. Patterson, who commanded the battalion, aims to provide a truthful and vivid depiction of the challenges and victories faced by these soldiers as they fought not only for the British cause but also for the restoration of Jewish presence in their ancestral land. The opening of the work introduces the context of the Jewish Battalion's formation and the pivotal moment marked by the Balfour Declaration, which promised a national home for the Jewish people in Palestine. Patterson discusses the challenges he faced, such as resistance from both the local British military authorities and factions within the Jewish community itself. In this early portion of the narrative, he sets the stage for the coming trials as he reflects on his responsibilities as a non-Jewish commander of a unit comprised of Jewish soldiers and his determination to lead them with honor amidst the complex socio-political landscape of the time.
