Field Marshal Montgomery in Leamington Spa to receive the Freedom of the Borough on 4 October 1947.
The scroll bearing the Freedom of the Borough was presented to Montgomery inside a tank-shaped casket. The casket was probably modelled on the M7 Priest, a tank used by Montgomery in his African campaign of World War II.
In this image Montgomery is looking inside the casket at the presentation. This photograph was produced for the Leamington Spa Courier.
