Other Information:

Frank lived at 2 Upper Crescent (1901); at 5 Lower Crescent (1911/1918); and at "Foxhall", 56 Osborne Park (MoD). He was educated at Campbell College, Belfast and at Queen's University, Belfast. He was a rugby player, playing Full-Back for QUB and Ulster and won three international caps for Ireland in 1914, playing against England, Wales and Scotland. Frank received a commission in the R.A.M.C. on 8th September 1915 and was attached to the 109th Field Ambulance. He transferred to No 1 Motor Ambulance Convoy on 6th July 1916, until the 19th January 1917 when he transferred to 20th Field Ambulance. On 25th July 1917 he took up temporary duty with No 17 Casualty Clearing Station (commanded by Lt Col W J Wingate), and it was with this unit that Frank became involved in X-rays, which was a key factor in his decision to specialize in radiology after the war.  He was also allocated the role of Prosecutor in the FGCM case involving Private Wolfenden. On 16th January 1918, Frank resumed command of No 1 Motor Ambulance Convoy. He was awarded the Military Cross "For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty during operations.  He collected and evacuated large numbers of wounded under heavy shell and machine-gun fire, working for five days in the open practically without sleep.  He set a splendid example." His Croix-de-Guerre Citation (Field Marshal Petain, 13th May 1918) reads - "Captain F.P. Montgomery, commanding officer MAC No 1 who, on the 10th April 1918, ensured the evacuation of civilians undergoing treatment at Bethune Hospital, under heavy fire, personally transporting patients who either because of their age or the severity of their conditions, were unable to get to the ambulances, thus demonstrating a fine example of presence of mind and disregard for danger." The award of the second Croix-de-Guerre was awarded for his assistance in repatriating French soldiers and civilians after the Armistice. Frank was the son of Rev Dr Henry Hugh Montgomery (Moderator of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland in 1912 and the third man to sign the Ulster Solemn League and Covenant) and Euphemia [Information researched and kindly provided by Nigel Henderson (Photograph also provided by Nigel, courtesy of the Montgomery family)]
