I grew up listening to my Dad tell his stories of the War, it was not until much later in my life that I found out that he was a member of the FSSF. He was wounded in Italy, severely wounded and was able to come home. I always wondered why he was so tough, he never complained never called in sick to work! RIP Dad you were always a inspiration to your 6 boys!
+John Lozano i know what u mean, one time i saw my dad break his little toe at home (it was sticking out on a 90 degree angle) i told him that maybe he should go see a doctor, he just grumbled a bit put some masking tape on his toe put his boots on & went to work. he worked at chrysler auto a big factory with a huge parking lot so i know he put a lot of mileage on that busted toe. this happend on a friday & needless to say after work he spent sat. & sun. in bed, then on monday it was back to work. toe never got infected so he never saw a doctor. those FSSF men who trained in Montana were some tough old birds.
Much Respect to your Dad.
Who was he..my Uncle 3-3 Sgt Eugene Pelletier
Well done and very realistic portrayal of the men that fought in the FSSF. I also thank those children of force members who were honest with the experience they had growing up, as I did. Many endured the explainable rage that their fathers brought back.
Thank you all for your service and sacrifices.
I have been blessed to know Jack Callowhill who served in the 1st company, 2nd regiment for a couple of decades. A quiet gentleman that we all owe a debt of gratitude to.
Once again, thank you.
My Uncle Angus (Calgary Highlanders)told me not to be mad at my Dah. That him and his Boys were famous. He said "They did night work". I thought he was a janitor. Now I know different. Maithin Duit Dah.
Excellent a tear in me eye.
Thanks for watching!
My uncle was in 6-2, Sgt. George Robinson. KIA in Feb., 1944. Trying to learn about him & the brave group.

@@Treehousedreamsfilms Thanks, Les. Sorry but I only saw your reply today. All the admin, and the members of the 2 FB groups are amazingly wonderful. I met a few members at the Menton Days Luncheon in Toronto Dec/2019. That was an extraordinary event for me.
@@Treehousedreamsfilms Les, I watched a couple of the videos. Thanks for putting them together. Have they been posted on the 2 FSSF FB Groups?? There are many new & younger members joining that would appreciate seeing them, myself include. Thanks again. Kevin. ps, I'm gonna bookmark !!
Great Story of real hero's.
My dad, H.P. Nicholas was a staff sergeant in the FSSF in the communications group. Thanks for your video.
I have always considered it an honor to have produced this video and become associated with those brave men. Thanks
What an honor to be related to a Forceman. Amazing men and soldiers. Thanks for watching!
Thank God! Finally. A properly researched and presented tribute to the FSSF that doesn't resort to that stupid, improper nick name attached to it in a 1966 book and subsequent 1968 film! I get so sick and tired of substandard docs falling back on the totally fake name of 'Devil's Brigade'. The force was never called that and everyone who uses that invented name is just displaying their ignorance and lack of research.
Thanks for noticing! I agree and am careful to never use that name other than to tell folks it’s not correct! Lol
@@Treehousedreamsfilms So many do fall into that lazy trap. Makes me nuts. You are to be congratulated.
Outstanding Les. Just outstanding.
Thanks, Brad. I'm hard over on the actual feature length version as we speak. It will be very different but I hope true to the memory of those guys.
My Grandfather was a Canadian member of The First Special Service Force his name was Palmer O Griffiths Hq Det 1st Rgt
When was the exact date that the FSSF marched down the main street of Helena? Where would FSSF Mortar support been placed at Monte La Defensa; for those of the 2/3 regiments as well as for the 1st
And the sad truth of the world today -- from "The Green Fields of France" by Eric Bogle
"Well, the suffering, the sorrow, the glory, the shame
The killing and dying it was all done in vain
Oh Willie McBride, it all happened again
And again, and again, and again, and again
Did they beat the drums slowly?
Did they play the fife lowly?
Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down?
Did the band play the last post and chorus?
Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest?"
