MOORE VETERAN RELATES
STORY OP CAPTURE OP
eighteen Germans
A. tattered piece of paper, a copy
of the original citation he received fot
bravery when the Americans smashed
the Hindenburg line in 1918, is the
most prised possession of Haig Crock
man, Moore county man, even though
an ungrateful government denies him
hospital treatment for rheumatism
and a kindred ailment, much of which
he believes is attributed to his war
service. The Distinguished Service
Medal, which he won by capturing 18
Germans single-handed, was stolen
from him several yearn ago,
l Rated 100 per cent disabled, the
government pays this comparatively
unknown North Carolina war hero a
pension of $30 a month. However,
Haig is not complaining; “'I can live
on $30 a month,” he said here this
veek, “but I can't pay hospital and
doctor bills.” He thinks treatment at
Hot Springs, Ark., will make him a
well man. But he achnits Charlotte
Veterans Bureau physicians think dif
ferently. i~'.
Haig was a member of Company I,
119th Infantry, 30th Division. Dolph
Blue of Carthage and. Marvin Ritter
of Hemp served with him in this
outfit, -
While Haig harbors no illusions bn
this score, there are some Who hold
he was a greater here than Sergeant
York. He kept his finger on the firing
lever of a hapd grenade,'ready to die
if his captives, who were bunched
about him after he had marched them
out of a cement dugout, made a false
move. "I was determined not to be
taken a prisoner,” Haig modestly ex
plained, “and although it meant in
stant death for me if I released the
grenade firing lever, I would have
bad the satisfaction of killing several
of those Germans and maiming most
of the rest. They realized I was in
earnest, or they would have ‘ganged’
Haig’s exploit was a
lone affair
from the start to finish and was not
suceessfuly culminated until after a
German officer had emptied the con--;
tents of his Luger pistol in the direc
tion of his face. Poor visibility due
to the early monupg fog and dense
smoke front barrages 'and counter
barrages laid down before the advance'
of the 119th, accounted for the atro
cious marksmanship. j

“They gave me a medal for brav
ery, but it was al due to sheer luck)
and fright,’* said Cockman, “and I
doubt if I would be alive today were
it not for the fact that the Germans
I officer I captured spoke perfect Eng
lish. His knowledge of our language
enabled me to , control his 17 com
patriots,” >.
Pressed to tdl the story of the cap
tore, Haig reluctantly proceeded:
“As I stated, visibility was poor
When wo started over the top early
that morning. One could hardly see
more than a .few feet ahead, and then
only with the greatest difficulty. We
were following what is known as a
‘split trench,’ and I had proceeded
some distance when I missed my bud
dies,; I was'alone in that, particular
stretch of No-Man’s Land, close to
the German lines.
j "A machine gun started whining
| away. Prom the flash, of the gun I
, realised I was right upon the death
dealing instrument. I ‘thought my
t time had come. My eyes piercing the "
smolde and fog, I saw the outline of
'a man’s figure, the lone operator of
Ithe gun, it later developed, a short,
distance away, Taking quick aim, I
Started firing with my rifle.
II “The gunner slumped in my direc
tion, screaming ‘Kamerad.’ I rushed.
j to his side and bayoneted him before
I he could make another outcry.
“Stumbling forward, my knees
struck the; curbing to Hie entrance
'of a dugout. This cement obstruction
j wgs my first ‘break,’ as 1 would
| otherwise have fallen in the gapping
hole.'— —__
“As I reared back to. regain my
footing, an "toper's Lead protruded
I from the dugctre. Sighting me, he,
: held up his right hand and shouted’
‘Kamerad!’ Having but one bullet in |
my rifle, and realizing that there were
likely to be a score or more men with
the officer, I lowered my gun ^lightly
to reach for a- band grenade. The
movement nearly coat me my life, as
the officer quickly brought up his
left hand and started emptying his
pistol. He shot nine times before I
got my gun back to< firing position. X
was sotu scratched, but terribly fri
ghtened. I was shaking so badly that
my last bullet, fired point-blank at
the officer's heart, struck him in the
right shoulder. This time, his gun
empty, both of his hands went up in
the air as be begged, ‘Kamerad.*
“ 'How many of you down there?’
t asked, finally pulling out the hand :
grenade from my Oanada bag and
jerking off the pin. To my surprise
he answered in perfect. English,
eighteen,’ ■■■■:•' : v t
" 'Don’t, don’t,” he implored, as ne
saw D was getting ready to throw
the gre>',ade into the diigout, ‘my men
will surrender.* . L ,
" *TeIl them to throw down'their
guns and side arms mid come out one
»t a time,* I instructed.
“A few shouts to German were ex
shanged. The men started climbing
>ut of the dugout, one ait a time, each
with both of his hands raised.
"Brandishing the hand grenade
threateningly, my finger toying with
the firing: lever, the release of whiclv - -
would hav meant instant death to me
and many of the Germans, I eom
mended theofficer to have hismen:
follow me. I had a small pocket concur '
pass, and knowing that I started due ; ,
South in the jump-off, I headed -
north. Pretty soon We were back to
the American lines.
, '"That German officer, who said he
had lived in New York. City, for six
years, told my captain not another
man in a million would have Been so
fortunate as I was in escaping death
and effecting the capture of 18. men.®
