This unit would be popularized in the mini-series Band of Brothers based on the book by the same name.
Clancy later served in the 82nd Airborne Division in post-war Germany and in 187th Airborne Regimental Combat Team() – The Rakkasans – in the Korean War.〔Brotherton, p.200.〕 He also served in Indochina.
==Early years==
Clancy Lyall was born in Orange, Texas.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Clancy Lyall Obituary )〕 His father, Arthur Edward Lyall, who worked on ships transporting oil from the United States to Scotland, was a Scot.〔Brotherton, p.24.〕 His mother, Beulah,〔 was a full-blooded Cherokee Indian from Oklahoma. His father met his mother on a trip to the US after wanting to see the native peoples in Oklahoma. They married and Beulah eventually moved to Orange Texas to set up a farm. Clancy was raised for a time with his maternal Grandfather on the reservation while the farm was being built. Once the farm was completed Clancy attended a one-room school and worked on his parents' 120 acre farm in Orange until they moved to Pennsylvania in 1939.〔Brotherton, p.24.〕 In the summers he would also cross the Sabine river to work in Louisiana, earning some money by picking Spanish moss for use as mattress batting. The skills he learned from the Cajuns in how to survive in the swamps would prove useful in his later military career as did the hunting and tracking skills taught to him by his Cherokee grandfather. Clancy also hunted cougar to bring in extra money for the family.
