The Floyd Talbert Tribute Letters - Mike Ranney, Jill Winters & Walter Gordon [Band of Brothers]
Floyd Talbert made it to Easy Company first sergeant and was a beloved member of the Company. He attended a reunion in 1948 and then disappeared from society. He suffered terribly from PTSD. 32 years later, in 1980, Easy Company member Walter 'Smokey' Gordon with help from his local congressman, tracked down Floyd who was in pretty terrible shape and helped reunite him with the remaining men of Easy Company. He passed away two years later in 1982.
This video features a number of letters written about Tab Talbert during that time.

I have to admit that this story was difficult to research. Robert Wolverton was CO of the Third Battalion of the 506th, the sister Battalion to which the famed Easy Company belonged.

    Obviously there's a bit of a difference between a truck driver and a gunner in a bomber, but as a veteran, the word "only" should never be used in conjunction with anyone who serves in any way.....my opinion.

    I am a child of WW II veterans, they and their siblings that served are all gone now. While many of us who watched Band of Brothers didn't actually know those men, I knew many like them, they were part of my life throughout my formative years. They all spoke very little of their time in the ETO or PTO, and while they all made it home, they didn't come home unscathed. To a man or woman, they all believed that they cheated fate, that others died so that they could survive. We owe to them a debt of gratitude that is sadly lost upon so many. I will go to my grave forever thankful for having had them in my life, I can only hope that they find me worthy when my time here is over.

    These posts give such dimension to the men of Easy. I had a great uncle in the UK 8th Army who went through basic and then the whole war with two other guys. He said the bond between them couldn't be explained to anyone who hadn't had that experience. These letters give a window into what the Easy guys meant to each other.

    While making The Great Escape in Bavaria Bronson became friends with British actor David “Man From Uncle” McCallum. David played “Eric Ashley-Pitt” in The Great Escape in charge of dispersal. David’s wife actress Jill Ireland was gravely I’ll in hospital. David and Charles had very few if any scene’s together while David was on set Charles would visit and stay with Jill at the hospital in Germany. Little by little Charles started to fall in love with Jill and she with him. Now the story gets cloudy depending on the source. Reportedly Charles told David that “ he was going to marry Jill someday”. The day Jill and Charles were married David remarried ( I’m blanking out on his second wife’s name). James Coburn who co- starred with Bronson in 3 films The Magnificent Seven,The Great Escape and the terribly underrated “Hard Times” had nothing but praise for David McCallum and the classy way he handled the whole situation. No whining to the British tabloids. Bronson cared for Jill Ireland through her many battles with cancer. David McCallum died just over a year ago his acting career resurrected with a part on NCIS. So David was on hit TV shows 40 years apart. Sadly David and Jills son would die of a drug overdose in his 20 s. In an interview with TCMs Robert Osborne James Garner when asked “Did you get along with all the actors on The Great Escape “? Garner replied” Everyone but Charlie Bronson” Garner wouldn’t elaborate. Garner himself was wounded twice fighting in The Korean War as a forward air spotter with the Air Force. Purple Heart recipient. Garner also served in the Merchant Marines during The Second World War.

Hopefully the hint I dropped to the boss, someone may buy it for me for Christmas Echo what some of the other commenters are saying. I haven’t watched the series for a while. But I’m hesitant, as what we now know to what we thought was presented aren’t quite the same. Even though we know there are always changes made to historical events, when something makes it onto the screen
