Remembrance Day 11/11/11/11

By polkadot | Published: November 11, 2011

In remembrance of my dad 1914-1944

I have a copy of “Passage to Destiny” by Brian Crabb which is an account of the sinking of SS Khedive Ismael in the sea war against Japan. It is an enthralling story, one that the British Government managed to keep top secret for 50+ years after WWII. But thanks to the perseverance of Brian Crabb, I know what happened to my dad and all those on SS Khedive Ismael in the convoy to Ceylon in February 1944. Contact me if you want to read it.
