Captain Andrew Haldane, also known as Ack-Ack or Skipper by his men, was the Captain of King Company during WWII. He was loved and respected by the company and was treated like a father

Haldane was sitting on a stool in the make-shift resting base, book in hand. It seemed as if he was halfway done with it. This wasn't surprising. If he wasn't walking around, making sure the men were okay, he was usually reading. There wasn't much else to do on Pavuvu. They would soon leave for Peleliu.
