In World War I, it was later claimed that he fought in the Battle of Belleau Wood with the 5th Marine Regiment.[2] However, Marine corps muster rolls show that he enlisted on 17 July 1918 and trained at Parris Island, South Carolina and Quantico, Virginia, in preparation for being sent to France. By October 1918, he has been assigned to the 2nd Separate Machine Gun Battalion at Quantico, but the war ended before he reached France. On 16 May 1919, he was transferred to Marine Barracks, Boston and was discharged.[5] He re-enlisted in the Marine Corps on 22 October 1927 at San Diego, California.[6] In 1930, between the wars, he was stationed in Shanghai and played in the outfield for the Fourth Marine Regiment Baseball Team.[7] He also served in Nicaragua, Iceland and in the Amazon.[8] In World War II, he fought in the Battle of Guadalcanal, Cape Gloucester and Peleliu with Company K, 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines, where he was one of the oldest to fight in the regiment. At the Battle of Cape Gloucester, Haney received a Silver Star for heroic actions against the enemy,[9] carrying ammunition to the front lines during the thickest of the fighting for "Walt's Ridge".[7][10] At Battle of Peleliu, he rallied the Marines as they got bogged down, and kept them moving forward during the fighting.[11] Haney also served in Nicaragua, China, Tulagi, Florida Island, and New Britain.[7] Haney is featured in several books for his role in World War II and actor Gary Sweet portrayed him in the HBO miniseries The Pacific.[12][13] Personal lifeHaney was born in April 1898 in Magazine, Arkansas to Albert S. and Mary Haney. He was the grandson of Henry Haney, a Confederate veteran. He attended the Chillicothe Business College. He married Ethel Taletha Tirey in 1949. He died January 31, 1979 in Fayetteville, Arkansas and was buried in Benton County Memorial Cemetery, Rogers, Arkansas. Ethel was born in about 1895 in Whitefield, Oklahoma and died on July 14, 1972 in Bentonville, Arkansas.[14] References1. ^{{Find a grave|133094950|name=Elmo Murray "Pop" Haney|accessdate=14 February 2017}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Haney, Elmo}}2. ^1 Miller, Thurman.
