Cadets Confined After Monty Beret Prank at Sandhurst
At Sandhurst six cadets were confined to barracks for 28 days after taking the beret of Field Marshal Viscount Montgomery while he dined. Monty reportedly waited 30 minutes for his hat as staff searched, then ordered an investigation and warned of punishment for the guilty. A lion statue bears the beret inscription The lion roars.
