Samuel was a forward observer with the field artillery in the Seventh Army Division of the First Army. His unit was engaged in a particularly hazardous undertaking. Second Lieutenant Haas, by his heroic actions on that occasion, contributed materially to the success of their mission and in so doing lost his life as his jeep went over a landmine killing him. At the time of his death, he had been in combat for two months. Prior to entering the service, Lt Haas had completed his junior year in Petroleum engineering and geology at the University of Oklahoma.
