Field Marshal The Viscount Montgomery of Alamein, K.G., G.C.B., D.S.O. (1887-1976), a manuscript letter on headed paper dated 22nd February 1964: 'My dear Scott The Best; 10/- It was, I recall, your statement that Gerald Templer was a Brevet Lt-Col on or about 1st January 1925 & fear you lose! He was made a Brevet Lt-Col on 1-7-38. The date is taken from the Army Graduation List. I regret that i was betting on a certainty. He is one of my oldest and greatest friends. You must have been thinking of somebody else. I hope you got home safe in the new car. Yours sincerely Montgomery of Alamein'
