I think Bertie arrived on 1952 based on the book where he had his first race with Thomas.

As for Algy, I am not sure about.

Rank: Major

Nationality: American

Attached to the 45th Infantry also known as the Philippine Scouts where he would fight the Japanese during the Bataan campaign of 1942. When it fell, he and others evaded capture. Becoming a renowed Guerilla leader in northern Luzon, his forces supported the US 6th Army during the recapture of Luzon. His famous act was enabling the Raid at Cabanatuan following the Pawan Massacre to save 513 prisoners.

One of the British prisoners was Willie Morris.

Fun Fact:

• He is played by Brett Tucker who previously played him in the 2005 film, The Great Raid.

Rank: Captain

Nationality: American

An army surgeon serving in the 6th Ranger Battalion from Bennington His service number assignment was O-476012. Taking part in the Raid at Cabantuan, he was gravely wounded from motar shrapnel to his adbomen. Before passing away, he asked: "The prisoners - did we get them all?"

"Every last one of them."

"Good luck on the way out." And so the 32-year-old doctor died the next day. Never allowed to live to see the Filipino baby, he delivered, as a godfather.

Fun Fact:

• Is played by Robert Mammone from the 2005 film, The Great Raid.

A deputy squad leader of the 800 Heroes where the NRA elite troops held off the entire Japanese forces during the 1937 Battle of Shanghai. When the Japanese were about to bleach the Sihang Warehouse, the 21 year old man strapped several grenades to himself and leaped to his death. The explosion would kill several enemy soldiers that were witnessed by many including the Morris family.

Years later, Willie and Johnny would remember this moment to Franz Ambrose.

Before making his final jump, he left a farewell note to his mother that likely read: "Dying for righteousness, this is what my son wishes for!" [1]

Fun Fact:

• He is played by Zheng Kai, who portrayed him from the 2020 blockbuster epic, The Eight Hundred.

A Lieutenant Colonel in command of 452 men of 1st Battalion, 524th Regiment, 88th Division. This unit was one the Chinese National Revolutionary Army's well-trained unit from the Germans in contrast to most of the NRA soldiers. His unit would hold the Sihang Warehouse till their retreat to the Shanghai Warehouse. One of the witnesses would be Willie Morris, Bettina, and Johnny.

And god don’t even get me started on that one locomotive In the UK that got cut in half to show off how it worked

This is B&M #410 in exhibit in Lowell, Massachusetts BTW, I took the photo myself

1 or 2?

This Japanese NCO works in Burma where he oversees the conditions of Allied prisoners of war. Similar to Amon Goeth, this individual is ruthless to and looks down on everyone, even fellow allies. One prisoners he hates the most is Willie Morris to the point that he would issue him ship to Japan out of spite. Had Willie not been rescued during the Cabanatuan prison raid, he would have died in captivity and repeating the cycle again.

Prior to the raid, he and Thomas J. Rounsaville led their team to observe what was occurring at the Cabanatuan Prison Camp. It was their recon ahead of the main rescue forces that the prisoners would be rescued with few Allied causalities. Among the 23 British prisoners was a man named Willie Morris, who wonders if Sodor is indeed real.

Fun Fact:

• Played by Jeremy Callaghan who played a fictionalized stand-in named Able. This is from the 2005 movie, The Great Raid.

I seen very few photos of both American Marines wearing the Frog Skin camouflage during the Volcano and Ryukyu Islands campaign. However I believe they tend to be worn by rear-line troops like artillerymen.

The reason I brought this up is because a character from Call of Duty World At War for some reason continues to wear a frog skin jacket despite the others reverting to solid green uniforms. Yes the game is focus on entertainment over education but it also bothers me a bit. Is it possibly for a few frontline troops to wear any frogskin by 1945? If not, what are the reasons the camouflage was not used widely?
