Russian-born Joseph Trumpeldor (1880-1920), settled in Eretz-Israel in 1912. He founded the Zion Mule Corps in 1915 and saw action in Gallipoli. In 1918, he established He-Halutz, the pioneering youth organization. In the defense against Arab attack of Tel Chai, a settlement in the Galilee, he was killed, his final utterance being: “It is good to die for one’s country.”
