[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Harris Tweed - Extra Special Agent - Man Eater comic panel.png

Image:Harris Tweed - Extra Special Agent - Man Eater comic panel.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

The cited web page for the following section has disappeared:

'After completing his national service in Burma, Ryan studied at the Regent Street Polytechnic, although he only completed one year, as he felt at 24 he was too old to be studying.'

It is odd that he appears to have quit his studies in the samne year that the war ended; this invites the accusation that he avoided conscription. Is there any more detail that can be found regarding his service in Burma, and why he was somehow released by the armed forces to go and study at a Polytechnic?
