  • Map of Israel Poster
    Information for the Homeland – My Israel posters Map of Israel poster Eilat Eilat is the southernmost city in Israel. It is located on the shores of the Red Sea and borders with Egypt and Jordan. Through the ages Eilat was a commerce- and port-town and a hub for copper trading. In the Bible it is mentioned several times by the name Ezion Geber. Eilat was conquered in the War of Independence and the raising of the Ink Flag at the Umm Rashrash Police Station symbolized the end of the war. After Operation Kadesh (Suez Crisis) Eilat’s access roads were improved, an airport was built, and it was developed as a port city and tourist attraction. Today there is a constant struggle between nature and environment preservation and developmental plans for the port, hotels, and tourist and recreational facilities. Trees suitable to the arid environment were planted in the Holland Park at the city entrance. The city also has a bird-watching center which was developed with the help of the KKL-JNF. Jerusalem Jerusalem, the capital of Israel, is the biggest city in Israel. The city is located centrally at the heart of the Judean Mountains, on the national watershed ridge between the Mediterranean Sea and the Dead Sea. Jerusalem is sacred to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam and contains sites which are hallowed by the three religions. Throughout history the city went Beer-Sheva through much turmoil and many Beer-Sheva, the Capital of the Negev, wars and it passed through the is the second largest city in size in Israel hands of many rulers who seized and seventh in its population.

As no Canadian Air Force yet existed, thousands of Canadians fought the First World War in British flying units. Canadians first served with the Royal Flying Corps (rfc) or with the Royal Naval Air Service (rnas). These two services amalgamated on 1 April 1918 into the Royal Air Force (raf). In total, an estimated 13,000–22,000 individuals from Canada joined the British flying services. In 1924, the Royal Canadian Air Force (rcaf) was created. With the outbreak of war in September 1939, the rcaf was able to draw on an existing cadre of officers and airmen and also attracted experienced personnel from private enterprise. By 1945, close to 250,000 men and women had served in the rcaf at home and abroad. This guide will illustrate the process of researching an individual’s service, from the essential starting point of service documents to supporting resources for detail and further discovery.
