Hrajfff’s McCloskey
Senator “Bob” Reynolds was un
able to do anything in connection
with the promotion cf Brigadier
General Manus McCloskey, com
manding officer at Fort Bragg, to a
major general because Army regula
tions prohibit the promotion of offi
cers to major general when their re
tirement is less than two and one-
half years off. Gen. McCloskey, 4‘2
years an artillery man, will reach the
retirement age of 64 in April, 1938.
Approved, however, for promotion
to major general, wa.s Brig. General
Henry F. Butner, former ‘‘C. O.” at
Fort Bragg and a brother of M. F.
Butner of Pine bluff.
A report in the Army archives,
signed by Brigadier General James
G. Harbonl, tells how General Mc
Closkey, then a colonel, made himself
famous.
It was June 3, 1918 and the Ger
mans had launched a mass attack
that bent the French line. McClos-
key’s battery took a position be
tween Ferme de Paris and Ferme
D’Issonge to relieve French field ar
tillery.
“In plain view of the German ob
servers in their balloons and under
a heavy shell fire, Colonel McClos
key posted his guns in the position
being vacated by the French so he
might have the advantage of their
firing data.
“The commander of the French
regiment remonstrated with Colonel
McCloskey.
/ ‘It is impossible to remain here,’
he said. 'Surely, you are going to
retreat ?”
“■Retreat? Hell, no| We just got
here,’ answered the American artil
leryman.”
Approved, however, for promotion
to major general, was Brig. General
Henry F. Butner, former “C. O.” at
Bragg and a brother cf M. F. Butner
of Pinebluff.”
