The photo is definitely not Iceland.He was never there,although he was in Scotland.Could the mountain in the background be one of the Three Sisters as they call these Ridges in Scotland.I have not as yet contacted your friend.I'm still in awe that he's the most photographed veteran whether in books or on the web.If you go into the Seargents Mess,type in Jimmy Sipton,it'll lead you to his other photo posted by Hanno and the boys.The photo had to be taken in the Midlands,but don't know yet !!I just compared the photo to one I have here at home when he joined the Canadian Legion in I think Rotterdam,while on leave.It is definitely the same person,same haircut.same corporal's stripes.Hell !! What a day for a great quiet guy.No wonder he wouldn't let me buy a 250 CC Yamaha Big Bear when I was young.But I got him.Went out and bought a brand new Austin Mini Cooper "S" ,1275 CC racer.
