Pre-episode. In the desert of North Africa, a young army officer, for the first time, facing the battle of live and death, he and his men were fighting a war with courage and honor. And then he left, to joint another fighting behind enemy's line.

How did a clean-cut, twice decorated for bravery regular army officer learn about prisons? And whose brilliant idea was it to make up a team of four, make that five, convicts to operate behind enemy lines? Slightly out of order, this should have come before the other Beginnings stories.

Inspired by the life of Dr. Jan Pol, this is dedicated to all the faceless people who risked their lives daily to save and shelter the helpless from being victims of the Holocaust. History does not know their names, but God does. Some images may be disturbing.

As much as I like Kittystitch's Chief story, it isn't quite where I'm going with this. So, this is my short version of Chief's arrival at the Mansion.

Chief arrives at the mansion for the first time and meets his new cell mates.

Goniff arrives at the Mansion. How does he react to the men and Garrison and how do they react to him

When an Allied agent embedded with the SS says he has important information and wants out, Garrison and the guys are assigned the task of extraction. But things aren't quite as straightforward as they first seem.

The mission was a decoy, not for the first time, but they didn't know that this decoy was for one operation much more bigger. They were abandoned behind the enemy's line, one fight after another. The victory was closer, but not for everyone .( Tragedy/ Character death)

Garrison could yell, just like anyone else, but when he got mad, he got quiet.

When Chief is injured during a parachute jump, the Gorillas learn a lot about what it takes to be a team from an unexpected source (Non-canon character, violence, adult situations implied) Originally posted on Jane Wood's GG site, and Part 1 of what I intended to be a 3-part story. Maybe posting it here will force me to finish it! Don't worry, Part 1 makes a good story on its own..

A journey full of bad surprises, a mission with high risks, but there is still honor among the thieves.

The Warden and Chief react to a heartbreaking situation.

For the Gorillas, mission free was a good thing, but there was another surprise that they did not like. They were trouble makers, and they knew how to get in and how to get out as they wished.

An easy mission for the group, but a tough one for the Warden. An act of betrayal,an operation of killing,but there is also belief , bravery and loyalty.

What were Casino's first impressions of Actor and Wheeler? And what were Garrison's impressions of him.

Garrison and his Gorilla's have been going non stop for a year...back to back assignments have left them in major need of rest & relaxation. Their current assignment should have been a milk run but plans haven't worked out very smooth of late, sometimes that isn't a bad thing.

The mission is not easy, but they are few brave men.

Garrison's Gorillas returned after their first successful mission

Soldiers don't have choice when the war is going on, but some people don't have choice neither, when they are selected. Missing scenes in Garrison's Gorillas.

Actor and Goniff had gone off to visit with the kids down at Mrs. Reid's place and Casino decided, rather than go with them, he'd better tag along with the Warden and Chief. They were going out to scout the river because their fearless leader thought they needed some practice in the boats again. He was hoping he could talk the Lieutenant out of it ...

When a mission to Spain gets dicey, a fragile trust is damaged.

A fight. A death. England is becoming as dangerous as the Continent.

A short about the first impressions of Actor and Wheeler at the Mansion after being released from prison and Garrison's assessment of both men.
