Now I am doing this from memory (and I have drank wine since I first read about this) but I recall a story in my local paper from about 20 years ago that the boy on the cover of Presence was from my local town - Leicester in the UK. He subsequently joined the military and was then seriously hurt in a squaddie prank when someone set his clothes on fire.
I am certain I read this but cannot find any evidence on the net that this story ever occurred.
Has anyone else heard this story?
