At some time, he'd been horribly burnt but because of his injuries it was impossible to put an age on him, so whether he was a vet. of WW1, 2 or a had suffered industrial injuries, I don't know.
I remember this guy ... used to see him where the buses left for Clayton ... even earlier than the 60s 'cause I remember my mom giving me a good talking to for staring at him ...
