I forgot to mention that during the "Mail Call" shooting we had more than just regular British soldiers. A few allies also showed up, including this Hessian. During the war, the British government hired professional soldiers from the German principalities, especially Hesse-Kassel. These soldiers were known as Hessians.
They were hard fighting, hard drinking soldiers that had large black mustaches (even if they were blonde haired).
