Grandson Graham Ash:
"I don’t remember him ever talking about his war experiences except for the relaxation of the laws of kashrut for troops(!), and having been rescued by the Japanese navy after his troopship was torpedoed in the Mediterranean. I found this difficult to understand when I was at school but is entirely possible as Japanese destroyers were deployed in the Mediterranean."
