Between 1944 and 1946, after the war had ended Montgomery continued to serve as leader of the British Military and later as deputy Supreme Commander of NATO. 10 years later he retired and decided to write up his memoirs. He died at the age of 88 in 1976.

Figures

No portrait figure was ever made by Lineol or Hausser. However, after 1945 a composition figure of Montgomery was produced by Durso, Belgium. This figure has the same scale as the 7 cm Lineol and Hausser/Elastolin figures of other personalities, and can easily be combined with them.
