   Very interesting report, not least for this:   
      
   > His passport application in 1936 ... described him as: "6ft 2in, eyes grey,   
   > hair brown, tattoo marks on backs of hands."   
      
   Tattoos? Somehow, all these years, I never knew that (or have completely   
   forgotten, if I ever did).   
      
   Do any of the biographers go into the 'what', 'when/where', or perhaps   
   even 'why' of this?
