Montague-Elliott claims to have served in the Army
in the Vietnam War. He is a Department of Veterans
Affairs (DVA) trained Pension Officer and works
with the Toowong, Queensland unit of the Veterans
Support and Advocacy Service Australia Inc. (VSASA).
The VSASA unit took Montague-Elliott on face value
and embraced him as a Vietnam Veteran. The President
of the VSASA unit was alerted to the possibility of
Montague-Elliott being a fraud and without bothering
to check defended Montague-Elliot. Being a member
of such an organization gives wannabes the
appearance of legitimacy. Montague-Elliott told the
President of the organization that he completed
recruit training at Puckapunyal, Victoria, then,
after further training at Canungra, Queensland he
was deployed overseas. Any alert person would see
that Corps Training is missing from the equation.
During a court hearing in 2008, Montague-Elliott
claimed to have been traumatized during his period
of National Service. The Magistrate said.
“For reasons that were understandably not further
explored in the evidence, it appeared during the
xxxxxxxx, cross examination that he had endured a
particularly traumatic event whilst conscripted to
national service. This event has obviously left a
deep emotional scar on the.”
Montague-Elliott was never a National Serviceman, he
enlisted in the Citizens Military Forces (CMF) on 28
March 1966 and served part time service until July
1967, when he was discharged from the CMF for
misconduct, relating to a civil offence involving
illegal use of a motor vehicle. For that offence he
was sentenced to serve fourteen months at the Youth
Training Centre (YTC) in Malmsbury, Victoria.
On
14 August 1969 having completed his term at YTC he
again enlisted in the CMF. This time he chose to
serve in the CMF, as a way of fulfilling his
National Service obligation and avoid the
possibility of service in Vietnam. He served as a
part time CMF soldier until 5th July
1971, when he was again discharged because he
“Failed to render efficient Service”.
The true history of Montague-Elliott’s military
service is shown in the following document:
The
dates shown cover almost the whole time of the Vietnam
War and according to his service record there is no
possibility that Montague-Elliott ever served in
Vietnam. Now let’s look at all the outrageous wannabe
statements he has made:
“He was employed in Vietnam fixing tank tracks, one
day he fired his rifle out of the back of an
Armoured Personnel Carrier and shot some enemy
troops”
“He has a Veteran Pension Card and he stated also he
can claim as much money he wants while he has this
Veteran’s Pension Card’
“There were no records of his Vietnam service
because he was involved in the Black Market and was
dishonourably discharged”
“He did two tours of Vietnam and blamed that for his
abusive personality”
“Accidentally shot another soldier and was sent to
army jail”
“Whilst in Vietnam accidentally shot an Officer.
“he acted the way he did because once a man had been
trained to kill. It was impossible to get rid of
violent impulses. The army trained men to kill sent
them to kill, and then just abandoned the violent
men it had created”
“I
am a Vietnam Vet, who has killed for flag and
country. I also killed because the army taught me to
kill, but I was a killer no matter which way you
slice it.”
“I
have not lied to you I am a Military Vet”
“But I have my Dad’s medals and mine in a tin, War
Medals”.
“I
am a Vietnam Vet and I had a secret”
Some of the above quotes are written in
Montague-Elliott’s own hand and others are contained
on Statutory Declarations.
Here
is an example of a statement written in his own hand
writing.
Let
there be no doubt that this bloke is an evil con man and
with a name like Montague-Elliott he is already halfway
up the straight. His naive Doctor wrote a letter to his
family suggesting “they be more understanding because
of his war record”, and even suggested they join a
Veterans support group for relatives of returned
Veterans. Obviously Montague-Elliott has finagled this
letter from his Doctor with false sob stories of his
horrible war experiences. Montague-Elliott has pretended
to a Federal Magistrate, his family and friends, a group
of VSASA veterans, his Doctor and obviously many others
that he is a Vietnam Veteran.
The lies told to the Federal Magistrate were in
relation to explaining his disgraceful behaviour,
and his evidence was given on oath and accepted as
true by the Magistrate. He has deliberately lied to
the court.
Montague-Elliott has committed an offence under the
Defence Act 1903 by Impersonating a Veteran. It is
unlikely that the Federal Police will take action,
and therefore we are pleased to expose Allen, Angus,
Montague-Elliott as a liar a fraud and a wannabe
