on July 12, 1951, Hale along with some twenty British soldiers went to recover the Angel that was going 2 be sent to the Americans. Almost as soon as the mission starts, Hale and his men come under intense Chimera artillery fire, possible Chimera mortars. This wipes out a majority of Hales men, but he continues into the city. Then, Hale encounters a platoon sized force of about 30 Hybrids, Hale and his soldiers kill all them Hybrids at the loss of about Four British soldiers. As Hale continues his advance downhill deeper into the city, they encounter another Chimera defensive position, reinforced by sandbags, defended by roughly 20 hybrids Hale and his men storm the position and start clearing Hybrids out of a large destroyed building. Continuing to advance they clear more buildings, and encounter Leapers. As he clears yet another position Hale gets reinforcements when a VTOL drops off a squad of British soldiers 2 help Hale. He then moves on after more house to house fighting with a platoon of Hybrids, he progresses on and comes under attack from more Leapers. He then progresses through the city and reaches a bridge defended by a dozen Hybrids manning a sentry gun. Hale and his 17 men enter the Cathedral, after encountering a howler, they enter the Cathedral where, once again, Hales men are gruesomely massacred, after killing a couple of steelheads Hale makes his way out. in Hales battle to get to Captain Mitchells he personally slays 35 Hybrids alone. He then meets up with Captain Mitchell's men and fights a skirmish with a company sized group of Hybrids. After fighting a bloody battle Hale and the British kill most of the Chimera and slaughtered their reinforcements dropped by a drop ship. With Hales help, Captain Mitchell's men are able to reclaim the Angel.
