Ed, Pete,
My apologies if i was perceived as diminishing the quality of the immense leadership and brillant tactical sense of a most revered and respected British General of WW2 .
But, General Simmonds for example would never ever have worn a Dennison, or other accoutrement. Different style.
I only meant that he ( General Montgomery ) was most extravagant in choice of dress almost to the point of being tought of wearing costumes .
I am sorry if i offended you and any member of this most august forum.
Here you are , a Wing Commander shot down in flames .
Your bowing , humble servant .
Robert
