 Encyclopedia: Bernard L. Montgomery
During the Irish War of Independence (1919_1921), Montgomery was Officer Commanding the County of Cork, Ireland's largest county by area.
This conflict was notable for the ferocity of the reprisals carried out by Crown forces in what was nominally the United Kingdom, such as the burning of homes and businesses, torture of detainees and at times outright murder.
Cork is acknowledged by both Irish and British commentators as having been among the most bitterly contested regions, largely due to the intransigence and anti-Irish bigotry of leading officers such as Montgomery.

In truth, Miss Montgomery was a poet long before she began to write prose; indeed, it is doubtful if she has ever been anything else, for Anne Shirley is essentially a creature of sentiment, of imagination, and of those qualities of heart and brain which are the products of the poetic mind.
Her verse is quite as perfect as her prose, though without its human touch; and her lyrics, especially those dealing with the smiling aspects of her native province, its fragrant fields of red earth and the 'blue sea coming up on every side,' are of rare quality, delicate, lilting and full of music.
Few, however, have known that this brilliant portrayer and interpreter of life in her native island, is a writer of verse of distinctive quality, particularly the poems that picture the sea and the sturdy, ardent fisher folk.
