A fact from M. E. Clifton James appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 15 June 2006. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that M. E. Clifton James posed as Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery as part of an Allied deception plan called Operation Copperhead in 1944, and then went on to play himself in a 1958 biopic called I Was Monty's Double?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2006/June.

Untitled

the photo link (the genuine monty) is improper in that it does not link to the man himself but to a disambiguation page —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.230.83.45 (talk) 18:00, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There is a much better pictue on the page now. Let's hope it can stay. 89.101.208.222 (talk) 12:30, 21 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Info on family?

Family?

If anyone has access to the Press obituaries, it would be interesting to know what's said about his family. I know there was at least one son (Tony James) with whom I was friendly as a colleague in the readers' room at the Herald and Weekly Times, Melbourne, during the 1960s.

Photograph?

Am I the only one who thinks it is a bit sad that the photograph on his page is of Montogomery? I think it would be better, and more informative, if there was one of Clifton James.

If no one objects, I will seek one out.
