LifeEarly yearsBorn in Leamington Spa, he had four sisters, the youngest of whom was 10 years his senior.{{Citation needed|date=July 2012}} He joined the Army in the Artists Rifles Regiment in 1916 and was promoted to Second Lieutenant in the Territorial Force in 1917. He was awarded the Military Cross for Bravery in 1918.[2] Later life and deathGlover is notable for his depictions of his partnership with his lover, Ralph Edward Hall (December 5, 1913 – 1987), a rare documented example of a gay long-term relationship prior to the legalization of homosexuality in Britain in the 1960s. Ralph Edward Hall was born 5 December 1913 in Bermondsey in the East End of London. The two met around 1930 and Glover employed him as his manservant, perhaps to provide a social alibi for two men living together. The relationship lasted for more than 50 years, surviving the Second World War during which Hall was drafted to the Royal Air Force.{{Citation needed|date=July 2012}} Much of their latter years were spent at Glover's country house, 'Little Windovers', in the village of Balsall Heath, near Coventry, where Glover's eldest sister, Ellen, lived with them until her death in 1954 aged 72.{{Citation needed|date=July 2012}} Glover himself died aged 85 in 1983, leaving Ralph Hall as his sole heir.{{Citation needed|date=July 2012}} Hall died four years later after suffering a gradual decline in health.{{Citation needed|date=July 2012}} In his later years Glover was described by friends in Belsall Heath as "charming, if somewhat reserved", and Ralph as an "outgoing, cheerful Cockney" [3] 'Little Windovers' and Glover's possessions were put up for auction in 1988 by Hall's next of kin. One lot was a cardboard box that contained much of Glover's collection of negatives from photographs he had taken since serving in the trenches in the First World War, as well as journals, and letters and correspondence from his many lovers during the decades, including letters from Hall written during his air service in the Second World War.{{Citation needed|date=July 2012}} Much of the collection was published in a book in 1992 with text by James Gardiner, A Class Apart - The Private Pictures of Montague Glover ({{ISBN|1852427280}}), and is a great insight into the underworld of gay British society in the early 20th century.[4] Themes"Rough trade"Glover's photographs tend to document 'rough trade', the working class male prostitutes of the period, making distinctive note of the divisions of social class as depicted by dress. Many of his photographs also depict members of the military.
