1:52:01
and there ain't
but eight of us to handle them.

1:52:04
You should have
brought more men.

1:52:06
But that's all there
were of us, sir.

1:52:07
You mean
to say that you and seven others

1:52:11
captured
all that bunch?

1:52:12
Yes, sir, and we'd
kind of like to get rid of them.

1:52:15
Well, good lord!
I guess we can give you some help.

1:52:20
Come on, sergeant.
1:52:22
Thank you.
1:52:29
Hey, sarge!
York by himself captured 132 germans.

1:52:32
Guy named york got 132 heinies
all by his lonesome.

1:52:36
How did he do it?
1:52:37
Must have
surrounded them.

1:52:38
Guy named york?
1:52:39
That's
what they say.

1:52:40
Gee, he captured hundreds
of boche and machine guns.

1:52:43
Guy named york!
All by his lonesome!

1:52:46
Hey, what's that?
How many?

1:52:47
A whole division
and a lot of high officers.

1:52:50
I'm telling you.
1:52:51
Yeah, about half
the german army and their generals.

1:52:55
I don't know.
1:52:56
One guy.
1:52:57
How could one guy...
1:52:58
guy named york.
1:52:59
He captured
the hindenburg

1:53:00
and the crown
prince,

1:53:01
brought them
all back.

1:53:03
They say...
1:53:10
say, sarge,
did you hear?

1:53:12
York captured
the kaiser.

1:53:17
As i understand it,
york,

1:53:18
your detail came
over that ridge

1:53:19
and captured
about 30 men right down here.

1:53:21
And then you were
forced to cover

1:53:23
by a machine gun
that was up on this other ridge.

1:53:27
Yes, sir.
Right up there.

1:53:29
Where were you?
1:53:30
I was a-laying
behind that log there.

1:53:32
They was machine-gunning us
pretty heavy,

1:53:36
so i worked my way across
1:53:38
up behind that log there
under the hill.

1:53:40
Rather incredible,
wasn't it, york,

1:53:42
your being
able to cross so much open ground

1:53:45
without being hit?
1:53:45
I reckon
the good lord was a-protecting me, sir.

1:53:49
What did you want to
go over there for?

1:53:52
I figured that was
a good place to be

1:53:54
because they had to
show themselves

1:53:56
in order to shoot at me
1:53:57
and the rest
of the boys back here,

1:53:58
and whenever they did,
i could touch them off.
