The Jerusalem tzaddik Rabbi Aryeh Levin would carry out the Goral HaGra using this edition, based on a mesorah passed from the Vilna Gaon through his rabbi, the Rebbe of Volozhin. The known date in which he carried it out was 1950, when he used it to identify the remains of the “Convoy of 35” who had perished in battle.
