thought it looked like Jesse James initially, but i doubt he would have been a full bloke in 1953

This WG Full/Sgt served in WW2. And His BD jacket is better pressed than the others.

Jessie was RSM in 66 13 years after this picture? so if it is him took 13 more years from full bloke, to CQMS, CSM, Drill/Sgt TO RSM, Could have been him i suppose, but would have meant he flew to full bloke, and if as Mike Wakely noted he served in WW11 i just think it cant be Jessie, even though to me it looks like him.
