On the morning of the 20th of July 1943, Maurice Cockin and Lieutenant Colonel Bruce Albert Sutcliffe went out together for a reconnaissance of the enemy front lines near Monte Assoro. As the two men crouched in the open they were spotted by the crew of a German 88mm gun which was positioned on the high ground to their front. It fired at them over open sights, killing Bruce Sutcliffe instantly and seriously wounding Maurice Cocklin.
A fellow officer saw him when he was brought back to the Canadian lines and recalled: - “Bat Cockin was still alive when they brought him back. He was in great agony, and he had apparently been asking to see me, as he had something to tell me. He and Bruce Sutcliffe had been staring up at the great peak of Assoro, and the zig-zag road that ran up to the village of that name. Although he was pretty far gone, his speech suddenly came back to him with most remarkable clarity, and he grabbed my wrist and said, "John, for God's sake don't go up that road." I don't think he spoke again.”
He was collected by the 4th Canadian Divisional Field Ambulance which took him to No. 1 Field Dressing Station where he was treated for wounds to the lumbar region of his back and to his left arm. He was also suffering from shock. He died from his wounds at 11.15am the following day.
