Jim Keogh (banker)

[1] Keogh's career at the bank was interrupted by the outbreak of the Second World War, during which he served in The Gordon Highlanders (Aberdeen).

[2] In 1943 he was awarded the Military Cross for his leadership under fire on the Catania plain, Sicily, when he rallied his men and achieved his objective after his unit came under heavy shelling despite being severely injured himself.

[4] Keogh was the United Kingdom's alternate executive director for the International Monetary Fund in 1955–56.

He was involved in launching a rescue plan but was blamed by some for failing to foresee the crisis[7][8] and took early retirement in December 1974.

Keogh married Winifred Amy Gray in 1940 and they had sons Anthony[11] and Simon.
