Great photo: Jack looks like a man who is at the top of profession: smart, alert and ready for the day's challenges. Notice how slim he is; can't guess his age, but these were times when post-war austerity still lingered on in the working classes. No beer belly on show here. Obviously, here was a man who had a pride in his job, and it manifests itself in his appearance.
