This conflict was notable for the ferocity of the reprisals against attacks by Sinn Féin and the IRA, carried out by Crown forces in what was nominally the United Kingdom, such as the burning of homes and businesses, torture, and murder.
Montgomery did, however, maintain links with the Royal Warwickshires, taking up the honorary position of Colonel-of-the-Regiment in 1947.
This provoked critcism from some Americans but Montgomery had deliberately placed his experienced British and Canadian troops up against the bulk of the armor, including most of the Waffen SS Panzer divisions that were present on the Western Front.
