520    Johnny Henderson spent four years during the Second World 
       War as aide de camp to one of Britain's most famous 
       soldiers of the twentieth century, General Bernard 
       Montgomery - or 'Monty' as he was popularly known. Shortly
       before he died in 2003, Henderson wrote about his time 
       with Monty at Tac HQ. His account takes the form of a 
       series of insightful anecdotes and brief pen sketches that
       give a fascinating and often humorous window on life with 
       Monty and those with whom he worked, or came into contact 
       with, during the war years. These people range from King 
       George VI, Winston Churchill and Sir Alan Brooke, to 
       Eisenhower and the German surrender delegation on Luneberg
       Heath. Drawing on his own unpublished private photograph 
       albums and the photographic collections of the Imperial 
       War Museum, Johnny Henderson relates his time as Monty's 
       ADC, from the Western Desert to Berlin, in the form of a 
       photographic anecdotal scrap book. His pithy observations 
       of life at Tac HQ make a unique contribution to our 
       understanding of what made Monty 'tick', and shows us a 
       less well-known but lighter side of the great man.
