Sapper:Thomas Hancock A.K.A.“Inferno”
Thomas was born in Liverpool, obtained a degree in Chemistry, joined the Fire Brigade at the age of
22, and became a specialist in the High Risk Explosives department, joining the Army six years later,
and volunteering for the Commandos in 1940.
During the raid on Saint Nazaire, he was responsible for the explosions that caused a great number
of casualties in the German garrison and knocked out the port facilities for months. Captured by the
Germans in this operation,and after four escape attempts in just eight weeks, he managed to escape,
cross the Pyrenees and return to England.
You will always find Inferno to be an English gentleman, but he does have an wxplosive temper. Instead of avoiding obstacles,
he likes to demolish them with grenade or a well placed shape charge.

thing he does on Earth. Don’t forget to pick up the trap after each use (click on the hand next to the knap-
sack or press H, and then click on the trap). Hot key: J

carry it. When you wish to launch it, you must go into shallow waters and then click on the package in
the knapsack. The launch will inflate in the water. Then you can board it just like any other vehicle.

enemy, unless he was seen as he submerged. To return to land, lead Blackwood towards the shore, and
when he is in shallow water, and the diving gear reappears in the knapsack,click on it.“Fins” will remove his diving gear and
stand up on the shore. Now you can send him walking to where he is needed. The diving gear can also be used directly from
