ISRAEL-BRITAIN-WW1-BURIAL

Ashes of British WW1 veteran hero Lt. Col. John Henry Patterson and his wife Frances Helena are placed near their graves before their burial ceremony on December 4, 2014 in the Israeli military cemetery of Avihayil in Netanya, north of Tel Aviv. Patterson, who was a Protestant, gained iconic status as the first commander to lead Jewish forces onto the field of battle during the Great War - playing a critical part in the history of Zionism. Patterson's final wishes was that both he and his wife eventually be interred in Israel, ideally, with or close to the men he commanded during World War I.AFP PHOTO / JACK GUEZ (Photo credit should read JACK GUEZ/AFP via Getty Images)
