Chris Ford

Captain **Chris Ford** was an officer of the Royal Navy.

David Ross an American former tugboat captain now in the Canadian army, is hastily commissioned in the Royal Navy and assigned to rotating command of W88, a double-screwed rescue tug then in dry dock due to battle damage. His predecessor was a suicide. The slow, poorly armed tugs bring in "lame ducks," freighters crippled near Britain by German attacks. The main danger is from U-boats and aircraft.

David is reunited with an old friend, Captain Chris Ford, who commands another tug about to go on a mission. Chris takes David with him and they are attacked twice. That night Chris brings him home to his flat to meet his lover, Stella, who wears a wedding ring. She had been engaged to Philip Westerby, another tugboat captain, but he was killed the day before their wedding. A friend of Chris's, Van Barger, took possession of the hard-to-find flat and Stella stayed with him. Knowing the extreme danger of his job, Van Barger then gave a copy of his key to the flat to Chris, so that Stella would be taken care of no matter what. When Chris chooses David to be the next in line, he tries to refuse, but his friend is insistent.

David's tug comes out of dry dock and he goes aboard to take his turn of command from the tug's other captain, Van Dam, who gives him tips for survival in combat but warns him that his real enemy is the one within himself, fear. Shaken by his recent close call, Chris proposes marriage to Stella, who accepts. However, she has a premonition that he will not be coming back from his next mission. She is proved correct.

At first, David refuses to move in. When he eventually does, he is surprised that Stella does not share his bed, but as time goes by, she falls in love with him, unlike the others. She puts away her photograph of Philip, gets rid of the uniforms of David's predecessors, and takes off the wedding ring. She also leaves her flat for the first time since Philip was killed. Finally, she asks David to marry her, and he gladly accepts.

With the U.S. entry into the war, an American freighter becomes David's next assignment, even though it is Van Dam's turn. Its inexperienced crew sends out a continuous S.O.S., contrary to sealed orders, revealing the ship's position to the enemy. When David finds out the situation, he tries unsuccessfully to refuse what amounts to a suicide mission. Knowing his chances, he gives his key to the new captain of another tugboat, Chris's former mate, Kane.

David's tug is attacked by a U-boat and hit numerous times. He orders the crew to abandon ship, then rams the submarine. After being rescued, David hurries back to the flat, but Kane is already there, having told Stella that David was killed. When she sees him alive, she screams at him to get out, hurt to the core by his betrayal in passing on the key. Later, Kane finds David drinking his sorrows away, and informs him that Stella is leaving for London on the train. David does not arrive at the station in time to board the train, but vows to Kane that somehow he will find her.

Charlie

Private **Charlie** is a U.S Army paratrooper.

Charlie has always been a screw up for as long as he could remember. Having and losing as many jobs as fingers and toes on his hands and feet Charlie was also married and divorced twice before he was even old enough to either vote as well as drink and smoke.

Joining the US Army after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor Charlie hoped to do something right for a change and serve his country with honor. This turned out to be a total nightmare where, as a US paratrooper, he was dropped behind enemy lines in Tunisia with his fellow GI's. Falling behind Charlie spotted what looked like a German holding his fellow paratroopers at bay and opened fire killing him. As it turned out Charlie screwed up again shooting US Army paratrooper Cowboy. Cowboy had donned a dead German solider's uniform and had helped storm a pillbox that the Germans were strafing the advancing US troops.

The tragic killing of Cowboy haunted Charlie all throughout the North African as well as Sicilian campaigns. Charlie not only had to deal with the killing of a fellow GI but the men in his unit who hated him for it. Despite him Desperately wanting to redeem himself Charlie was purposely left out of any action that his unit was in making him look more like more of a deadbeat. During the fierce fighting at Salerno Charlie finally got his chance to prove himself. Again, like in Tunisia and Sicily, Private Charlie's unit was dropped behind enemy lines to prevent the German Panzers from wiping out the some 40,000 G.I's fighting for their lives on the Salerno beaches.

With almost his entire unit wiped out by German machine-gun and mortar fire Charlie took it upon himself to clear the way, by clearing a German minefield, for the trapped forces of the U.S 5th Army to get to safe ground and away, from being hopelessly boxed in on the Salerno beaches, from the impending and fatal German counter-attack. Risking his life and losing it Charlie finally did something right finishing a job that he started. Something he was never able to do his entire life. But in this case the job that he finished was not only beneficial to Charlie but to the thousands of G.I's whose lives he eventually saved.

Sergeant Connor tells the men that Philip and six privates will be transported to Fort Doyle for twenty-four hours of guard duty.

Lieutenant McCartney arrives, and the captain informs him that both of the Channel Islands, Jersey and Guernsey, are being demilitarised, with all British troops returning to England.
