Billy Nelson
 The All-American, corn-fed boy, Billy Nelson, is the squad’s
youngest member. He has a charming, boyish grin, and is rather gullible. So it’s good
he has Littlejohn to look out for him. If going by the book, this private is not a good
soldier, always getting things wrong and mis-handling his equipment. But in the field,
he’s a man you can count on to watch your back.
