I was going to take some time off before New Year, but instead, I’m giving you a Christmas present… A cracking interview that I just wanted to recycle and punt back into view.
I am so gratified to hear Merryn say that Montgomery regarded the Canadians as expendable. That’s been quite evident to me for some time but when I’ve said as much, the Monty fans climb all over each other to refute it. Can’t you just imagine Churchill having a quiet word with Monty: “If it’s going to be bad, just send in the colonials, there’s a good chap. That way I won’t have a political price to pay.” 😡
