The viscountcy was created in 1946 for the military commander Field Marshal Sir Bernard Montgomery, [1] commemorating his crucial victory in the Second Battle of El Alamein (23 October–3 November 1942) (named after a minor railway halt marking the allied defence line), which sealed the fate of Rommel's famed Afrika Korps.
Field Marshal Montgomery is wearing the beret and jumping jacket of the Parachute Regiment. His scarf is similar to those worn by British paratroopers when they were dropped in Normandy on the night of 5 - 6 June 1944.
