Yesterday
I watched Combat as a teen and loved it. Then about a year ago I discovered it on You Tube and was thrilled. Almost every night I watched one or two episodes from 10 until midnight, or almost midnight as there are no commercials to take up show time. One of my favorites was on a couple of nights ago, The Little Jewel. Need I say I watch the shows staring with Season 1 all the way through Season 5 in color then start over again. Caje was a special guy in the show. And he had a kind face (and handsome. I just wish there were many more episodes. RIP "Caje". You were a great actor.

I grew up watching Combat and enjoyed listening to him speak is native language like my dad and his brothers did. And BTW all Jalberts are related.

I loved watching Pierre on Combat as Caje he was so handsome and a fine actor. What first caught my attention to him is his name, I have a cousin with the exact name who lives in Quebec. Rest in Peace Pierre Jalbert.

I just re-discovered my favorite WWII TV show, Combat, on Youtube, after what, some 55-60 years. It was the character of Caj that inspired me to start learning the French language--a great gift. Merci bien, Monsieur Jalbert, pour avoir suscité en moi le désir d'apprendre des langues, en particulier la vôtre.

I watched Combat as teen in the 60s and am now watching reruns, sometimes 4 in a row. Pierre did a wonderful job playing Cage. In one episode I watched last night, he was skiing and I thought he was probably doing it himself, or at least most of it as I had learned of his skiing abilities. I certainly enjoyed his acting.

You could always count on Caje in Combat! Very human character. Must have been an extremely deep person.

He was great in S2 E4 of Mission Impossible "The Bank" episode.
It's now the 10th Anniversary of Pierre's passing & wanted to share my condolences to his widow & family.
Pierre also has a striking resemblance of my son's VP at his high school.

I made a mistake in my message. Blanche Lamontagne was his grandmother and not his mother. His father was Paul-Gabriel Jalbert and his mother Yvonne Gagnon.

Pierre Jalbert was the nephew of my grandmother Fleurette Lamontagne who was the sister of her mother Blanche Lamontagne.

Appreciate everything you and your brother did for our freedom. Most Americans would be happier to know that our brother single handedly saved Parliament from certain death. It's truly in you guys, to be heroes. From you Iearned French from a war bride and then got my residence at Beaulieu Sur Mer. You're in heaven with Francesco Marto.

Although, I didn’t know Pierre in his off screen personal life, I know him very well on his on screen life as “Cage” from the TV series Combat. Pierre’s integrity, moral and ethical personality appealed to myself and numerous other viewers. He epitomized a true American soldier doing the right thing and at the same time cheat death and come home from the war. I still watch Combat episodes on YouTube and see Pierre (Cage) always be there for the other guys of the platoon. We will always miss guys like Pierre and his excellent job being part of Combat. R.I.P. my friend....

I am a Sag Aftra actor and Pierre Jalbert and his cast mates are still inspirational to my work. My mother survived the war in Belgium as a child. Not far from Bastogne. When Mr. Jalbert as Cage would translate in French especially while talking to a child actor in the show It just goes to my heart. Such understanding and compassion. I'm writing from a TV set, in NY Thanks for the continued inspiration. God bless your memory .

Pierre,
I did not discover the Combat television series until just recently, it should have been many years earlier. I just want to say I wished I could have met you and thanked you for the great work you did in Combat. I know you must have been a great fellow to be around...hopefully one day I might get the chance to meet you and shake your hand. Daniel

Mr. Jalbert was a great actor, especially in his roll as Cage in Combat. 5 of my 9 brothers would actually act out the characters of Combat, and my brother Ronnie (Walker) was Cage. I loved that show, and I still watch it to this day on ION TELEVISION. Live on COMBAT!!!

Still remember this very humble, perspicacious and fascinating man. He knew about the history of France, Napolean, Canada, and other countries, how to ski, told little anecdotes about his life, could build almost anything, witty and kind. RIP, Pierre, from a person who was lucky enough to be his nurse for a short while.

aTruly a delightful man and a fantastic character. Perfect scout and a must for Combat the tv show, along with
Vic Morrow he was and continues to be a anchor. Thank you for the memories as a child fan and also into adulthood. Greatly missed.

I as a young boy, watched COMBAT every day after school...Caje, Kirby, Little John, Sarge all taught me valuable lessons in the series. I suppose I like Caje' the best. A man's man, great values and came across as a really decent man, also proven true with the 50+ years of marriage. I sure miss that series, I miss seeing those great actors/performers and television today is nothing like it was then. I miss it. Rest easy Pierre, Caje' and your many other names.....thank you and thank you very much!

To All of You on this Page, I was extremely fortunate (and in awe) to have met and talked with Pierre many times. He was a humble man, and knew and did so much, and I learned from him. I was fortunate to see some photos of him in everyday life, and he was definitely a good looking man, besides the smarts! I am glad you all write about his influence on you. Truly a great man.

I am a young boomer and am just now watching the TV series Combat. "Caje" is one of my favorite characters and Pierre was a great actor in this role. He gave the character "heart" and made you want to be a part of his life. Thank you for making Combat such a great show. RIP.

I loved Pierre Jalbert as Caje. The kind of quiet man who you always wanted to be next to in any situation of peril. He gave Combat the portrayal of what a quiet strong loyal warrior looks like. He was cool.
August 8, 2017
I want to thank Pierre Jalbert, for all the memories. "Caje" was a very special character to me, and a lot of "Baby Boomers". There will only be one "Caje", and only one Pierre Jalbert. Rest In Peace, and never know War. captain James Russell. United States Navy, Retired.

This little 5 year old boy went on patrol with you guys in COMBAT! every week. As the Squad reunites one by one it tempers the sadness of losing such beloved gentlemen. Thanks for the fondest of memories.

One of my best memories come at the end (I forget the title but it the one where Caje and Little John had been fight with each other all the way through it) Sauders tell them no one wanted them. What my Momma said was priceless. It was I'll take you.
One of my favorite was the Partisan.

Not sure where I've been the past year and a half, but I had not heard of Pierre's passing. Loved everyone on Combat but "Caje" was my favorite. He portrayed the American GI like no one else could. Rest in Peace, Pierre, you were a pleasure to watch during those "Combat" years.

I only learned today of Pierre's passing. I am so sorry for your loss Mme. Jalbert. Pierre's portrayl of "Cage" was spot on - he brought a depth and emotional range to the COMBAT series beyond compare. He was athletic, extremely masculine (and a little girl's hero and first crush). My father passed away in 1968 in his early 40's when I was only 9 years old. Our time spent together watching "Caje" in COMBAT are some of the most precious memories of my life. What a wonderful human being Pierre was...so accomplished in everything he did. I can only hope your sorrow is soothed in knowing how inspiring and loved your dear husband was to multiple generations of his fans. He is in the arms of the angels now and you will see him again. One day after this life has ceased, I too hope I may have the pleasure of meeting him too. Thank you Pierre for all the wonderful memories you've given me and to all your fans, friends and most of all your family. God bless you mon ami!
