Field Marshal Sir Bernard Law Montgomery, 1st Viscount Montgomery of Alamein, 17 November 1887 – 24 March 1976),
nicknamed "Monty" and the "Spartan General",was a British Army officer. He saw action in the First World War,
where he was seriously wounded. During the Second World War he commanded the Eighth Army from August 1942 in
the Western Desert until the final Allied victory in Tunisia. This command included the Battle of El Alamein,
a turning point in the Western Desert Campaign. He subsequently commanded the Eighth Army in Sicily and Italy.
He was in command of all Allied ground forces during Operation Overlord from the initial landings until after
the Battle of Normandy. He then continued in command of the 21st Army Group for the rest of the campaign in
North West Europe. As such he was the principal field commander for the failed airborne attempt to bridge the
Rhine at Arnhem and the Allied Rhine crossing. On 4 May 1945 he took the German surrender at Lüneburg Heath
in northern Germany. After the war he became Commander-in-Chief of the British Army of the Rhine (BAOR) in
Germany and then Chief of the Imperial General Staff.
