He trained and led commando units, doing convoy service on the dangerous Murmansk run. He earned a chestful of medals, including an American Silver Star, the British Distinguished Service Cross and the French Legion of Honor. He was a wonderful representative of a bygone age. He typified that type of leading man. His wife said he will be buried alongside his father at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery.
Funeral arrangements are incomplete.
