Historical	He was a tailor. Granted UK naturalisation on July 9, 1948 (No. HO 334/257/4478). The certificate says he came from Iran, not Iraq. He was a private in the Jewish Company of the Shanghai Volunteer Corps. Miriam married Norman L. Abrahams of Liverpool in September 1959. Their children are Daniel J. Abrahams (b. October 1960) and Ruth S. Abrahams (b. June 1962). Doreen married Michael J Affleck of Hampstead (London) in July 1967. David and Doreen were living on Adamson Road in Hampstead in 1965. Perhaps he and Victoria had divorced. Victoria died on January 11, 1972. She is not buried in HK. She may have been living with Miriam in Hamilton, Ontario, at the time.
