"The Revisionist Flag, for bringing the flags of the Jewish legion" (Hebrew). Tel-Aviv: HaAretz press, 1925.
An issue of a journal issued by the Revisionist Zionist Federation dedicated to a review of the celebrations of bringing the flag of the Jewish Legion from England to be kept at the "Hurva" synagogue of Jerusalem and the official ceremony that accompanied it. The issue features articles about the Hebrew Legion and the celebrations of the Yishuv for the event, alongside polemic articles against the Zionist executive and the official institutions of the Yishuv. Appearing on the last page is a notice: "The Revisionist Zionist Federation of Tel-Aviv hereby announces to the public that due to reasons beyond its control, it was denied the right to take part in the celebration in honor of the flag of the Jewish Legion" (Hebrew).
Six years after the dissolution of the Jewish Legion, in December 1925, its flag was brought to Palestine and in an official ceremony was placed in the "Hurva" synagogue in the Old City of Jerusalem. The ceremony was attended by the representative of the Yishuv and its dignitaries, the president of the synagogue, the Chief Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook (who even wrote a prayer for the occasion and delivered a sermon during the ceremony) and the High Commissioner for Palestine Herbert Plumer. The Yishuv in Palestine saw the ceremony as a nationally and historically significant event and some suggested to make it an official national holiday – the Flag Day.
