No Albert, he was never in the military, he just had a propensity for wearing military cap badges in his lapel, that's all. The picture was taken in one of those coin operated photo booths. He was clowning around at the time. I think this one is his Robert de Niro impersonation............" Who you talkin' to. ?.....you talkin' to me ?........huh ?.........you talkin' to me ? ".

Hi Ged, Jimmy died on the 13th of October 2012 in the house that he was born in 72 years previously.

Regards. Ozy.

I remember him well from "The Branch", not your average kind of guy by any means!
