During World War I, Montgomery saw action at the First Battle of Ypres, Battle of Arras, and the Battle of Passchendaele, where he was shot through the lung by a sniper at Ypres. In World War II, he commanded the British 8th Army, leading them to victories at the Second Battle of El Alamein and in Tunisia. Despite his impressive victories in North Africa and Sicily, "Monty" was seen by many, especially in the U.S. service, as cavalier and audacious. This perception was cemented by his disastrous Operation Market Garden, an overly optimistic and complicated plan to cross the Rhine and end the war by Christmas, which led to the term "a bridge too far," signifying an overreach resulting in failure.
