Hi Tim,
Extract from "General Lord Freyberg VC" by Peter Singleton-Gates, page 238:
"General Sir Oliver Leese has since told the (true) story that on an early occasion in the Desert when Montgomery was with Freyberg a party of weary New Zealanders passed them, with no seeming sign of recognition. 'Don't your fellows salute any more?' queried the Commander of the Eighth Army. 'Oh, they're all right,' was Freyberg's answer. 'If you just wave to them they'll wave back.'"
Regards, John
