Original Toronto Star caption: Thoroughly enjoying the experience, Field Marshal Viscount Montgomery is accompanied by army of bare-legged youngsters as he strolls through Ottawa crowds on Parliament Hill where he reviewed a guard of honor formed by war veterans who yesterday marched 1,000 strong to meet Monty.
