This distinguished gentleman pictured here was a former Arctic Convoy serviceman. These brave souls used to take much needed supplies to our Russian allies travelling the dangerous and adverse route through the Baltic Sea to Russia. Often in appalling weather and freezing temperatures. Hence one of the reasons why they all wear the very distinctive white beret.
