U.H War Correspondent

FIELD M AIRS AL MONT
GOMERY'S HEADQUARTERS
IN FIELD-U.D-Two years ago
Just another general; today
known worldwide as the man
who led Allied armies to some Of
their greatest victories - that
briefs the success story of Field
Marshal Sir Bernard Law Mont
gomery.
His rise to greatness as SOL
der dates neither from Egypt
nor from Tunisia, but from far
away Tasmania, Australia.
Forty-five years ago war
flames were cracking. The Boer
War had begun. From all parts
of the British Empire, recruits
answered the call.
In Tasmania, little boy stood
at a window beside his mother,
watching Australians tramp past
to embarkation points to fight
for the empire.
"One day l shall be soldier,
too" the boy said.
"Ah," the mother said. "It's
easy to say that, but to be a SOL
der means hardship, training,
discipline and self-control-that
is, to be a good soldier"
Still gazing at the marching
men, the boy answered:
Il shall be a good soldier. ]
not only shall be a good soldier,
but one day will have an army
of my own and lead the men into
battle"
In these days, after the gun
flashes fade out on the last bat
tlefield of this European war,
we know how we'll that little
boy, Bernard Montgomery, kept
his word to himself as a man,
for he not only has led his own
army, but the armies of other
nations to victory.
Defeat-jaded peoples Of the
United Nations first sat up and
listened to "Monty's" words on
the morning Of Oct. %, 1912,
just before the night attack on
Ell Alamein, which threw Gen
eral Rommels German army
back from the gates of Cairo.
owe are going to hit the Afri-
ka Korps right out of Africa he
said.
He kept his word, and began
a series of astounding military
triimphs, which, after Sicily and
Italy victories, brought the AL
lies to Normandy and through
the Siegfried Line.
INSTITUTION TO MEN
/ marched with Monty and his
men from Ell Alamein through
most of the battlefields of Afri-
ca, Sicily, Italy, Normandy, Bel
GUM and Holland to Germany.
/ had many opportunities to
study the man.
What makes him tick What
is the secret of his self-confi-
dence, his accuracy in deciding
The daily monitor leader. [volume] (Mount Clemens, Mich.) 1942-19??, 1945-05-07

where, when and how to strike?
I believe it is both mental and
spiritual. He is an institution
to all his men. But his most
vital gift Of all is his craftiness.
It often has been said Of Monty
that he is the fox who out-foxed
foxy Rommel. That about sums
him up. To his stealth, which
he combines with skill, add a
liberal portion of thoroughness.
AS he once said to me:
II never take on job until l
feel absolutely sure / can carry
it out"
That means he never attacks
unless he knows he will get
there.
On the spiritual side of his
character, he believes in Divine
power and is firmly convinced
that God answers his prayers.
Whenever he goes into an en-
gagement, he invokes Lord
God, mighty in battle" to aid
him and his men.
Then there Is another element
in Monty's character-confid-
ence.
KEEP VICTORY PLEDGES
Throughout this war the
British Tommy never has been
so solidly behind any military
leader. What Prime Minister
Churchill is to them in the po-
litical sphere, Monty is to them
in battle. They trust him i'm
plicitly. They feel that he kept
his word to them-that when
he promised victory, he gave 1t
to them. History has proved
their confidence was justified.
Again and again, Monty prom
ised victory and the results bore
him out.
The British Tommy did not
hero-worship Montgomery so
much as pin their faith on him.
So often they had seen defeats.
SO often they were forced to
give their sweat and blood to re-
The daily monitor leader. [volume] (Mount Clemens, Mich.) 1942-19??, 1945-05-07


Onward, ever onward"
Short, thin and wiry, with
piercing gray eyes, Montgomery
is not what is described as a
personality" He wins by his
acts rather than by words. He is
poor speaker, not able to COM
mand words well, but he repeats
and repeats until he drives his
meaning home. His favorite re-
mark is:
1--WE are all a great team
one great team-all under Gen.
eral Eisenhower"
A true Spartan, Monty does
not drink, smoke or swear. He
takes exercise with grim
relish which not always Is
shared by staff members whom
he induces to join him.
He always is cool and calm,
Never once have I seen him
flustered. I recall wildly the i'm
preston he made upon me just
before the battle of Ell Alamein,
when he cody told correspond
ents about the battle that was to
take place that night, all the
while balancing a flyswatter on
the back of his forefinger.
His finger never wavered. Yet
even as he watched the flyswat-
ter, he was saying:
Tonight there will be a ter
rifle battle-terrific!!''
He knew many men would
die. He knew his chance for
greatness was on the scales, but
not muscle quivered. He has
been the same ever since D-Day
on the Normandy beaches.
Monty also has ability to out
bluff the enemy.
