Sorry folks, this is all I could find on Ken Curtis Military service.

His character, Festus, on Gunsmoke sounds exactly like my relation in St. Joe and Allendale Missouri.

May we assume he did not drive a mule team?

He played a parachutist for hire in the TV series “Ripcord” too.

He directed “The Giant Gila Monster” and starred and directed in “The Killer Shrews”.
MST3k fans will relate.

His first appearance on Gunsmoke was in an episode named “the Lady Killer” as I recall. His character was an evil seducer of women.

I mostly remember Ken Curtis as a member of John Ford’s stock company. He turns up in just about every post-war Ford flick. Not a leading man but a great second-tier actor. And of course Gunsmoke.
