John Gentleman Montgomery (1896–?)
John Gentleman Montgomery was born in 1895 or 1896 in Falkirk, Scotland. When he matriculated at United College for two semesters in 1914, he listed St Andrews as his address. He was studying agriculture. John left St Andrews after Candlemas term, listed as leaving but not to undertake military service. However, he is listed in the University of St Andrews’ Roll of Honour and Roll of Service, undertaking service in the 3/1st Fife and Forfar Yeomanry, and later the Royal Scots. He did not die in WW1, but all information about a John Montgomery is uncorroborated.
