They are indeed the same person. He rescued my grandpa from Yugoslavia in 1944, and I've done a fair amount of research on the dude. He's also misnamed as Lynn Farish, used the pseudonym "Louis Farish" in OSS communications, went by "Slim" (a nickname he picked up in the oil fields of western Canada), and was listed as Linn Fanish in footage of him scoring two tries in the gold medal game of the 1924 Olympic Rugby finals against France.

I have a copy of a letter written in 1941 as well as secondary sources about this man, and these give his surname as Farish, not Farrish. The man himself gave his surname as Farish. Can we re-instate the original entry, and merge all the information there, rather than under the current listing of Farrish? His name was Farish not Farrish and it is factually incorrect to have him listed as Farrish. Tizard99 (talk) 05:47, 19 July 2026 (UTC)

Lack of Credible Sources for Spy Activities

The only source informed as to substantiate the allegations of espionage is the book titled "Blacklisted by History: The Untold Story of Senator Joe McCarthy and His Fight Against America's Enemies". The title of the book already discloses its bias. And the fact chetniks did collaborate with axis forces is amply documented and accepted by mainstream historians (please refer to the "Axis collaboration" section of WP article on Chetniks. The whole section should either be further documented or completely removed. M.Campos (talk)
