In my Grandfather’s War Diary entry from Friday August 21 1942, he visits Jerusalem & Bethlehem. He said “… saw Wailing Wall then to Jerusalem and went through the million dollar American YMCA – beautiful building and grounds.”
He most likely took (or purchased) these photos on this visit that day.
The comments under the photos are his own words from the backs of the photos.
Note – as per a reader’s comment, these are Jewish women, not Muslim.

The women praying at the “Wailing Wall” are not Mulim women. They are Jewish Women..
Thanks for the clarification – the words below the photos are those of my grandfather – as written on the back of the photo. I have put a note below the photo.
I was sure that was the case.. and I am 100% sure he was mistaken. Thank you very much for the notation
I very much appreciate getting the update 🙂 Thanks for stopping by 🙂
I thought you might find this interesting.
