His father died when he was seven and his mother could not afford to feed the family so Yaakov was sent to the Diskin orphanage in Jerusalem where he excelled at his education, played the harmonica and learnt to create ornaments out of wood and iron. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the outbreak of war, he enlisted into the Navy and was assigned to the ship HMS Woolwich as a stoker. In mid-June 1942, the ship was ordered to leave Alexandria as the port facilities were going to be destroyed there to prevent their capture by the advancing Panzer Army. Woolwich, HMS Resource and six destroyers were transferred south of the Suez Canal until the victory at the second Battle of El Alamein in October allowed them to return to Alexandria. She remained there until late 1943 when she was assigned to the Eastern Fleet and based at Trincomalee for the rest of the war. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yaakov died in the 64th General Hospital, Alexandria from concussion with cerebral haemorrhage as the result of an accident.   <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/505628.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26017\" width=\"402\" height=\"509\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/505628.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/505628-120x152.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 402px) 100vw, 402px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"933\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Yaakov-Dahan-HS-700x933.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26018\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Yaakov-Dahan-HS-700x933.jpeg 700w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Yaakov-Dahan-HS-250x333.jpeg 250w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Yaakov-Dahan-HS-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Yaakov-Dahan-HS-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Yaakov-Dahan-HS-120x160.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Yaakov-Dahan-HS.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/44994_adm_104_129-0248-1-700x52.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26028\" width=\"840\" height=\"62\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/44994_adm_104_129-0248-1-700x52.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/44994_adm_104_129-0248-1-250x19.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/44994_adm_104_129-0248-1-768x57.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/44994_adm_104_129-0248-1-1536x115.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/44994_adm_104_129-0248-1-120x9.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/44994_adm_104_129-0248-1.jpg 2020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Yaakov Dahan Stoker 2nd Class, H.M.S.
