Album documenting ceremonial events in Wingate's memory.

From the Wingate family papers: an album capturing a visit to Israel by Orde Wingate's son, during which he unveiled plaques and attended events commemorating his father's commitment to Zionism and command of the Special Night Squads. The album opens with a photograph of a stone tablet "in memory of. Israel's brave and true friend." Around 20 years old, Orde Jonathan Wingate (1944--2000), is shown chatting with officials, admiring exhibits in a museum, and at an open-air unveiling of the tablet. Over a dozen photographs document at least two large-scale gatherings, speakers standing beneath the general's stern portrait.
