I saw this face picture on another site stating it was a British Sailor from around 1940. According to Geni, Rocky passed at age 79 in 1947. The picture may not be of Rocky. Can anyone verify this?

Caption reads
Royal Navy stoker with 21 years service nicknamed “Popeye”, photographed on board the HMS Rodney in September 1940. A stoker was responsible for anything from the propulsion systems to hydraulics, electrical, and firefighting systems. The HMS Rodney played a major role in the sinking of the German battleship Bismarck in mid-1941.

Another user wrote to us that "it was confirmed to be the picture of an unnamed British Navy sailor during WWII"
