98Z5V Posted January 31, 2023 Report Share Posted January 31, 2023 (edited) Part of my history. Canadian sister-unit to 1st Special Forces Group (Airborne) is 3PPCLI, the Canadian unit - 3rd Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry. Every year we had a Menton Day week-long festivity, surrounding 5 December, and the 3PPCLI came to Washington State. 5 December is the important date, because on 5 December 1944 was the inactivation of the First Special Service Force, in Menton, France. We had events all week long with them, joint training a competitions, which ended in a Formal Ball at the end of it. It was always amazing, and a true piece of history. It was the birth of Special Forces, that relationship at the time, during WWII. Here's a SOFREP Article on Menton Day: https://sofrep.com/news/menton-day-respect/ Edited January 31, 2023 by 98Z5V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikedaddyH Posted February 6, 2023 Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 I saw a documentary about the ww2 formation of this unit on either the History Channel or the Military Channel. Pretty cool how they did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
