He was 31 years old, and a Lieutenant in the 21st Lancers (Empress of India's), British Army during the Sudan Campaign when the following deed took place for which he was awarded the VC.
On 2 September1898 at the Battle of Omdurman, Sudan, after the charge, Lieutenant De Montmorency returned to help a second lieutenant who was lying surrounded by a great many Dervishes. The lieutenant drove the Dervishes off and, finding that the officer was dead, put the body on his horse which then broke away. Another lieutenant (Paul Aloysius Kenna) and a corporal then came to his assistance and he was able to rejoin the regiment which had begun to open fire on the enemy.
