EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, Field Marshal Bernard Law Montgomery, 1st Viscount Alamein, is seen enjoying the picturesque Alpine town of Gstaad, Switzerland, in 1949. Dressed in a remarkable white fur coat, Montgomery exudes an air of authority and elegance as he presents the Army Skiing Cup during a winter sports event. The upscale resort town of Gstaad, nestled in the Bernese Oberland region of the Swiss Alps, was a popular destination for the British elite, and Montgomery's presence adds to the prestige of the occasion. Montgomery, a renowned British military commander and leader, is best known for his victories during World War II, including the Battle of Alamein. Here, he is seen in a more leisurely setting, donning a beret, gloves, and a warm smile as he interacts with the crowd. The snow-covered fields and alpine backdrop add to the serene and idyllic atmosphere of the scene. Montgomery's visit to Gstaad serves as a reminder of his enduring legacy as a military leader and his ability to find respite and enjoyment in the beauty of nature, even in the aftermath of war.
