Here's a rather obscure one, but not to fans of the Three Stooges: Richard Fiske, who played the Stooges' sergeant in "Boobs in Arms." He was a second lieutenant in the infantry, and was killed in action in France in 1944.

Columbia was putting Robert Fiske all over the place for a while, in b-films, shorts, and various bits in A’s. There’s a Bill Elliott b-western from around 1940 or 1941 which I saw that gave him a pretty good role as the hero’s ill-fated friend.

I always take note of Fiske when I see him in an old Columbia film, and raise my glass in honor.
