After a bit more research it seems that Jack Mills returned to work the very next day, yes he had a bandage on his head there was no blood but he was made aware by the powers that be that it would be in his best interest to take early retirement and that he would be looked after financially. After all he had spent his life as a manual worker and he was made an offer he couldnt refuse as well as to be made a public figure, this is where all the hate and rage against the train robbers has come from.
So does it matter? No not in my opinion. Ronnie Biggs was a member of the gang that robbed a train of 2.3 million pounds what sets him apart from the other 14 members is that he go away and stayed away and came back under his own steam for reasons only know to him and his family, for people to pour out their hatred when they have no real facts and are just using hearsay to condemn this man for something he didn't do.
It is nonsense to assume that he died from injuries sustained, no proff of this has ever been put forward, no one has been tried and again I will state, Jack Mills did not die of injuries sustained at the train robbery, he retired, lived well on his pension until he died.
Also I dont condone the actions of any member of the gang that robbed the train, I'm just putting forward facts.
