On this day in 1979, Sir Israel Brodie died. He had studied for a BLitt at Balliol college, but work was disturbed by a period as a Jewish chaplain on the Western front in the Great War– a role he would rise to again in the Second World War. In 1948 he became Chief Rabbi of Britain, and was the first incumbent to retire from office, in 1965. Credit: ODNB
