Hi, th!

I threw question 223841 at you (indirectly).

Because I figured that you would rise to the challenge, as always.

But I was wrong!

Is it something that I said?

Hello again probonopublico,

I did in fact research your question for quite some time, looking in
all the dark and dusty corners of the spy world on the internet, all
to no avail I'm afraid.  I checked the PRO files, and did several
image searches on various search engines, using various combinations
of names.

However some interesting tid bits turned up:

"MI5 officer  James McGuirk Hughes, whose code-name was PG Taylor,
might in actual fact be James Taylor, who "remained on the executive
of the British League of Ex-Servicemen from 1939 through to April
1945, when he disappeared", (Dave Renton 'Fascism, Anti-Fascism and
Britain in the 1940s' 2000, p126)."

also:
"One former member of the movement stated that Hughes had disclosed
his employment by MI5 to Mosley when he applied for the position,
commenting that Mosley accepted because Hughes' dual membership of MI5
and the BUF "need not have clashed.....He [Hughes] was "on our side",
which seemed good enough'.(46)"

So Mosley knew Hughes was working for MI5??


BUT!  If you look at the gentleman 3 places to Mosleys left in the
photograph below, you will notice that the he is making a hand gesture
near his face.  This gesture is a masonic one, and as everyone knows
all MI5 agents are freemasons!
"Mosley and other national and local Blackshirt leaders at the Hull
Metropole, December 1936."

Anyway, in answer to your question "Is it something that I said?" the
answer is, a resounding, no :)

Very best regards (as always)

Great stuff!

Many thanks.

However, your theory that all MI5 agents were masons is not relevant
because Hughes was not employed directly by MI5.

You see, in those days, the Director General (Vernon Kell) would not
employ Catholics and the said Hughes was definitely a Catholic. I've
even found a witness who saw him leaving a Catholic church with his
family.

I have Charnley's book and I will take a close look at the piccy.

Thanks anyway.

I figure that if the TRULY GREAT thx1138 can't find a piccy then there
ain't one.

Kindest regards

Hello again Bryan,

Thank you for your generous tip and for the excellent rating of my
answer.

Just out of curiosity, are you aware of any pictures of Kurt Jahnke? 
I still occasionally check for any new information regarding him, and
will of course let you know should anything turn up.

Very best regards

Hi, th

Yes, I've got a piccy of Kurt Jahnke but I've only ever seen the one.

It's in a book that I've got but the title eludes me at present.

Rgds
