Ken Berry - 1933 - of 'F' Troop fame
was a regular in the short run series about WW2, "Twelve O'clock High" - 1964-1967
starred actor Robert Lansing - (1928 - 1994)
who also starred the another short run TV show - 'The Man Who Never Was' - 1966

So there you have it,. . . . wait!
Or we could just link Ken to Leonard Nimoy (1931)
who did a national tour as Sherlock Holmes in the 1970's
under who Ken Berry served, in the early 50's, while in the Special Services Corp while in the army.

Now,. . . So there you have it, there you are.
Very nice Berry/Nimoy connection!
