Raphael David de Sola was an interesting man. Born in Canada in 1902, he became a multi-millionaire stock-broker in London. When his sister married the ship-owner Sir John Ellerman, they worked together and gave away millions to good causes. In 1940 he gave £1,000,000 to help the victims of an earthquake in Turkey. He volunteered to help with the evacuation from Dunkirk and went with a party using towed life-boats to take men to the ships. In June 1940 he was commissioned Sub-Lieutenant, R.N.V.R. and Lieutenant in September. Posted to shore bases at Wildfire (Sheerness), May 1943 to Comorant (Gibraltar), Hannibal (Taranto, Italy) November 1944, Acting Jewish-Chaplain in Algiers and finally Caroline (Belfast) May 1945.
