SPORTSMAN KILLED IN ACTION

CAPT. MONTGOMERY FALLS

Sportsmen, not only in Wirral, but also in Liverpool commercial circles will regret to learn of the death of Capt. William Sproat Montgomery, who was killed in action on Saturday.

Capt. Montgomery, who was attached to the 6th Rifle Battalion the King’s (Liverpool) Regt., was only in his 34th year. He was the younger son of Mr. Hugh Montgomery, “The Allports”, Bromborough, and was connected with the firm of Simmonds, Hunt and Montgomery, general merchants, Fenwick Street. He had been in the Army about nine years, but had only been at the front a few weeks. The gallant captain was very well known in Wirral as a Rugby footballer who was formerly attached to the Liverpool club.
