adwarf/Carl SandersonYou deliver your speech to everyone nearby while Corporal Henderson looks on with approval. Afterward he brings you near the bow of the ship. You squeeze past the others to a cleared area occupied by some crates. "These are the Mills bombs. There aren't enough to go around, so I want you to distribute them to men you trust. Make sure to spread them out among our section. Keep a few for yourself too."
You pack a satchel with 20 Mills Bombs wrapped in wax paper. "Not everyone knows how to use them so make sure the blokes who get 'em know what they're doing. Oh and don't let West get a hold of one, for Blighty's sake."
Sosoku234/Keaton WestFox and Peters stand on either side of you. Mostly they ignore you when you talk. They think you're crazy, but harmless. They probably won't hurt you unless you do something drastic.
GigDes/Noah ShepardCorporal Sullivan gets your attention. He's a sad-looking man with olive skin and thick eyebrows; a Malaysian. "Hello, Shepard. Are you okay?" He produces a pair of cigarettes and offers you one. "Fancy a smoko before we go forth?" His hands are shaking almost as much as his voice.
Stirk/Harold HotchkissA chill washes over you and the hairs on the back of your neck straighten. You feel like something is watching you. It's probably just nerves. Nothing strange has happened since the battleship was pulled down. You notice the 2nd Lieutenant standing near the cockpit and speaking to the captain. You're too far away to hear the exchange but you hope he's trying to get on the radio. You wish you knew what was going on.
Appearance: An old man in his forties with brown hair, and who is the late stages of growing bald. He's short, about 5' 5", with a lean build, a constant scowl, and a glare that could seemingly penetrate through a trench and kill a man. He is rarely found without a cigarette, or cigar lit.
Position: Lance Corporal, 1st Section, 1st Platoon
Inventory: Peaked Cap, Enfield Rifle (20x .303 cartridges), Rifle Bayonet, Entrenching Tool, Satchel (20 Mills Bombs)
Appearance: About as average as one can be in build. He has white hair and a heavy stubble. Green eyes. No real physical deformities.
Position: Private, 1st Section, 1st Platoon
Inventory: Peaked Cap, 20x .303 cartridges, Rifle Bayonet, Entrenching Tool
Appearance: A man who looks younger than his 21 years. Promoted and still unsure of himself, and it shows. His face is still smooth, and his eyes are dark and narrow. His brown hair is, of course, cropped short. A bible can be seen in his front pocket.
Position: Lance Corporal, 2nd Section, 1st Platoon
Inventory: Peaked Cap, Enfield Rifle (20x .303 cartridges), Rifle Bayonet, Entrenching Tool
Appearance: His curly black hair is to regulations, if barely, and his eyes are a grayish blue. He has a slightly-taller-than average, though his straight posture makes him appear taller than he is. He naturally wears the uniform-complete with slouch hat that is often found lying on the back of his neck rather than its proper seat. His face is smooth and close-shaven, generally staying that way from effort on his part.
