Ahead of Harry Truman, and behind him, were other Americans and Britons who had come to sit with the Russians at Potsdam: Field Marshal Sir Bernard Law Montgomery, General of the Army George C.

The Englishman bore the resounding proconsular title of His Excellency, Field Marshal the Right Honorable Viscount Wavell (rhymes with naval) of Cyrenaica and Winchester.
