Biography[]
Early life[]
Lonnigan is a British soldier who enlisted in the British Army sometime prior to 1942, before joining the No. 2 Commando, one of a dozen battalion-sized unit within the Special Service Brigade. Like most commandos, he likely trained with his unit at Achnacarry in the Scottish Highlands.
Operation: Chariot[]
In the early morning hours of 28 March 1942, Lonnigan was among a section of commandos aboard the HMS Campbeltown, a destroyer converted into an explosive-laden battering ram with an objective of destroying the dry dock. He operates as a spotter alongside Reilly from the ship's control tower. When the vessel comes under heavy fire, Lonnigan orders the Union Jack to be raised.
Following the collision with the dry dock, Lieutenant William Holt is knocked unconscious and Lonnigan is not encountered again.
