Trace Paradox
Easily Enough

The paradox can be traced easily
enough. In the icy veins of this
wiry, hatched-faced warrior flows
not only the blood OF Sir Roger de
Montgomery. second in command
Of the army of his kinsman, VIII
liam the Conqueror. but also the
blood of some of the most pious
churchmen in English history.
Monty is curious blend OF
two wildly conflicting strains, and
both find expression in him.

and puncturer of the Rommel
myth, Mas horn in England in ST.

grandfather, who named and bap-
tized him al St Marks, was the
famed Episcopalian and ecclesias-
teal writer Dean r. w. Farrar,
author Of life Of Christ.

He Was That Way
at Dunkirk Too

He was that way al Dunkirk
and when thousands OF training
troops cursed him for his severity
during maneuvers in Devonshire
in the summer of 1912, just before
taking over command Of the
Eighty Army.
He was aggressively businesslike
in peace times. TOO. He married
a widowed artist named Betty
Carver in 1927 and when their son
was born he took complete charge
Of the infants care, barking stern
orders 10 frightened nurses as II
they were troops in battle.
One Of the few times on record
that he showed any marked emo
ton except anger was upon the
death Of his wife in 1887. 1t hurt
him grievouSly
"My wife and I were real com
panions. We used 90 do 10 many
things together" he told friend
after an lnconsolable period of
mourning. Now, well like

Into Army Life

into his army life. shutting out al
else. except an eagle-eyed interest
in III rearing Of his son, David

conflict approaching in every fiber
of his soldiers soul.
He is a hard man 10 figure. He
can swim buck naked with hi,

around as enthusiastically as any
l9-year-old But not even his
closest friend would dare call him
Monty TO his face.
And the soldiers who Willingly

with sorrow that the cottage OF

Monty was born was badly dam

Lady Montgomery. his adoring
old mother who has lived 10 see
him become the most successful
general on the Allied side OF the
grimmest war in history, did her
level best 10 turn his early atten-

Before his graduation from

Monty lived an almost clois-

were long prayer sessions and the
household operated on an almost
