I worked as a messenger boy for 6 months in the 60s for a solicitor called H M Garland-Wells in Norfolk Street (which no longer exists) off the Strand. I knew at the time that H M or Herbert Monty as he was known was keen on cricket but only recently discovered that before becoming a solicitor he was Captain for Surrey in 1939. During WW2 the name Garland-Wells was used as an informal code for General Montgomery in North Africa. Allegedly, this couldn't be deciphered by the German codebreakers!
