Carolinian Corrals Krauts

Infantryman Pfc. Robert H. Glover of Gastonia, North Carolina personally accounted for 46 prisoners. Glover recalls one instance in which he crawled through high grass to surprise nine Jerries.

“On another occasion I was following a tank destroyer toward a house when I was fired upon. As I rushed the house with a few of my buddies, 25 Germans ran out with hands in the air” he remarked.

Like all doughboys he looks back on one close shave. At one time he acted as a get-away for a patrol that encountered strong enemy opposition. As he attempted to make his get-away with vital information, concussion from a mortar shell knocked his helmet off and his rifle out of his hand. “It was much too close for comfort”, he remembers.
