		Montgomery was also a keen advocate of physical fitness; in the desert he had all ranks from Brigadier down doing daily physical training.

		Montgomery was originally critical of Canadian abilities in the opening days of the Sicily invasion, noting (probably quite correctly) that unlike his desert veterans, the Canadians were not accustomed to the tropical climate, and ordered the 1st Canadian Infantry Division to rest shortly after the landings.
