Fort Harrison Helena Montana
Friends , i recently relocated to Winnipeg so i drove through the US to get to the Peg from Victoria BC.. On my way there i passed through Montana . I stopped in Helena . Fort Harrison is the home of the 1 SSF , the Black Devil’s or Devil’s brigade . I highly recommend a visit . BEWARE : The museum is on an active National Guard base and is only open on Thursdays. It was a Friday but i happened to run into the curator , a very nice gentleman. The Canadian flag flies in Fort Harrison in honour of the Canadian soldiers who fought with the Force .Awesome visit. Highly recommended ! Will post pictures . Robert

more . The German quote with the 1SSF red arrow: It’s going to end badly. The white building is the ORIGINAL parachute folding / maintenance building for the Force.

Here are some more pictures . An awsome visit . Canadian military history in the USA. The unidentified man in the picture is Col Fredericks , the first Commandant of the Force . The bottom uniform with the blue/ white with an upward pointing knife patch denotes Operation «* Cottage*» : The liberation of the Aleutians in Alaska from the occupying Japanes forces.

Devil’s brigade
Had to post more pictures ... so excitingly interesting visit ! Top picture : The famous picture of the 1SSF marching out on main street Helena Montana before going to war. Many were killed .
Right below an interesting testimony from a Canadian member of the Force . Below that the white buildind is the theater the Force used for mass brieffings and films on ennemy tactics. Flags at half mast for Senator MCain . The Japanese flag is for Kiska in the Aleutians , the island taken over to create a diversion that eventualy led to the battle of Midway.
