Field Marshal Bernard Law Montgomery, 1st Viscount Montgomery of Alamein, KG, GCB, DSO, PC, (17 November 1887 – 24 March 1976), often referred to as "Monty", was a British Army officer. He first saw action during World War I. He survived a sniper shot through the lung in October, 1914. He returned to the front in 1917 as a general staff officer. While certainly a talented commander, Montgomery's ego and lack of tact in interpersonal relations did him no favors among his foreign allies and in the British Army.
