British participation in the battle was minimal but Montgomery made it sound as if he, Montgomery had swooped in and saved the day.

Yes. He called it a ‘’uniquely American victory'' My late Uncle Fred barely survived The Battle Of The Bugle. He was seriously wounded in Belgium in early January ,1945. He served with the 84th. Infantry Division.
