[Geoff Winnington-Ball (RIP)]

Just saw a British special on El Alamein... it closed with the statement that Monty visited the Commonweath Cemetery there many years later... and was invited to visit the German cemetery. It was said that he rejected the invitation with a statement to the effect that "I was responsible for enough deaths without that". This suprises me, it just doesn't seem like him. Did he develop a conscience in his elder years? I really don't know, but would like to, given thousands of Canadians died under his command. Please advise.
