I am directly related to Charles Jacob who was my uncle. He changed his name to Vaughan during the war because it was thought to be too jewish sounding and he was concerned what might happen should he fall into enemy hands.
A thoroughly engaging but modest man who never talked about his war experiences other than in an entertaining way.
He later served with the Gurkhas in the far east against the Japanese.
In short where there was trouble Uncle John would be sure to find it and get involved.
An amazing man.
Any chance of a repeat of this program??
