Lieutenant J. Kostelec of Calgary and Lieutenant H.C. Wilson of Washington state, rest on the steps of the Force's Clearing Station, near Venafro, Italy, in Jan 1944. LAC Photo. The First Special Service Force was a unique fighting force in many ways. The force was bi-national, consisting of American and Canadian personnel. This unit, trained in amphibious, mountain, and airborne warfare was perhaps the most highly trained unit of its size to emerge from the Second World War. https://www.canadiansoldiers.com/organization/specialforces/1ssf.htm
