3rd.from left back row Alan Tither
Man in suit Monty Montgomery
I should know 2nd from left worked in relay test with him will still work on the name.

Thanks Ken.
I wonder if some Montgomery lads were nicknamed 'Monty'? (after Field Marshall Montgomery of Alamein)
We had a 'Monty Montgomery' at St Aloysius School 4 years older than me. He lived down Prince Consort Rd and I've just checked & found his real name was Arthur.
Here is 'Monty' in the school football team.

Monty real name was Ronnie, he used to live on Victoria Road West
Front row 4th from left looks like Howey Campbell, might be wrong.

So to get this right is that Ronnie in the Football photo with suit on?.
Or is Ronnie the one I remember from school and
put his portrait pic up.

Norman,I’m talking about the photo of the Monty you remembered., who would be 84 now. Not the one on the football photo.

For Ken T

That surprises me I never knew him. At that time 121 was occupied by Dad’s sister Margaret and husband Alan Turner after my Grandparents died.

The Montgomery family ( Fergus Montgomery who I knew) lived in St. Rollox St. as did three of my Morris family.

So I wonder if Monty Montgomery was part of that family.

What was his name, Monty being his Nick name.

Allan C.

I remember Andrew Montgomery from St Aloysius infant school a long time ago. Norman he was my age a bit older.The picture is of Andrew he was 84 and sadly he died I think I read it this year.

Thanks for his proper name Marie

.
As has been said earlier he was always known as Monty & I remember him being tall. RIP 'Monty'.

Same age as me Marie, I remember him as Hughie,
but Hughie/ Arthur/ Andrew, I’m sad to hear he has died. I remember seeing him with his first wife, then later he married a girl who worked in a Reyrolles , her first name Doreen but I don’t remember her surname.
