“Sometimes he photographed him in the way he did other lads on the streets, in his ordinary working clothes... sometimes dressed up in an Army uniform... And other times he photographed him in the way one does a lover and no one else.”

—James Gardiner, A Class Apart: the Private Pictures of Montague Glover

[Figured I’d do a photoshoot inspired by Monty’s photos of boys and his lover Ralph Hall yesterday!]

Montague Glover's boys in uniform

Montague Charles Glover was a British freelance architect and photographer. He is most notable for his depiction of homosexual life in London during the early to mid-20th century through private photographs taken primarily for his own enjoyment. His photographs tend to document 'rough trade', the working class and members of the military.

Montague's lover of 50 years, Ralph Hall, is depicted in the sixth photograph, sitting outside their shared house in uniform. Hall served in WWII as a pilot for the RAF.

Montague himself is in the fifth picture as a shoulder to lean on, and the seventh picture, sitting between two of his 'rough trades'. He served in WWI as a second lieutenant and was awarded the Military Cross for bravery in 1918.
