York, England (level)

York is a city in north-east England that was liberated on July 11th, 1950 by Sergeant Nathan Hale and the 1st Ranger Regiment.

History
Like the rest of Europe, York fell to the Chimera in the early 1950s. It was the first city in England to be liberated, during the American military operation, Operation: Deliverance. U/AV-17 aircraft brought the 3rd Ranger Regiment into York to secure a landing zone, but the flight was decimated by Chimeran anti-aircaft fire. The second wave of the assault delivered the 1st Ranger Regiment. Among these troops was Sergeant Nathan Hale, who turned out to be the sole survivor when the rest of the regiment was attacked and infected by Crawlers. Hale was also infected, but he somehow awoke and managed to regroup with another American unit led by Captain Winters at an abandoned bus depot in south-east York. Although they managed to secure a landing zone, the Chimera launched Spires, infecting the entire group and bringing them to a Chimeran Conversion Centre in Grimsby.
