Billy Nelson

billy8.jpg (13768 bytes)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.
