The Admiral kept the bullet and had it mounted on a gold chain which he wore from his left lapel.
Commander Montague was appointed Local Defence, and Commander Boom Defence in New Zealand in October 1942 "The preparation and installation of the booms were carried out under the superintendence of Commander H. M. Montague, OBE, RN, Staff Officer (Boom Defence)."
