in the face of the enemy in the vicinity of Prctot, France, from 3 to 8 July
9 The 1st Battalion, 359th prfanlrg Reyment, launched an attack against
a numerically superior force in order to secure the right flank of the division
and to cantnre the key ~. mint in thc enemy defense. Hill 122. After 3 dnss of
bitter Jighting, during which time many of its leaders became casualties, the 1st
Battdion pressed to the base of the strategic hill. Without time for sorely
needed rest or recuperation, the Battalion secured the right flank of the division
by assaulting and overrunning in the face of urirelenting fire, enemy positions
on the richt side of the cornmandine - site. As the batLlc~mearr soldiers armroached -
the far crest of the trill, they encountered a strong, determined force of paratroopers
and SS troops. Without support of tanks, tank destroyers, and antitank
~ -
guns, the la1 Batlollon repelled sllcccssivc, vicious counterattacks and drove tbese
assailants from the summit 01 the hill. When the units ammunition supply
became depleted, a hand-earwing party was disgatched to bring up the critically
needed ammunition; but, after completing one successful trip, the dctail
was prevented by enemy inflltrntion and intensc fire from delivering additional
su~plies to the forward elements. Though repeated efforts were made later
to deliver ammullition to the 1st Rattalion, it received no such su~lias for 30
hours. A large, tlostile form SuDDortCd . by fire tanlis. BrLiller~. -. and mortars
Sub~equcntly counicratlacked and drore a deep wedge between the 1st Battalion
and the 3d Battalion, completely severing all communications. As wave after
wave of enemy troops attack& the 1st Battalion's pasitions with the intent oi
destroying the unit, the officers and men, suiceeriug from cold, thirst, and hunger.
and their stamina taxed to the breaking point, held tenaciously to their hnrdwon
Positions, repelled the attackers, and inflicted heavy casualties upon them.

Though the &a Battalion later dosed the gap between the other two battalions.
which allowed tanks to bring up vital supplies to them the enemy continued to
engage the 1st Battalion in fierce fire fights, and, in one final effort to drive the
battalion from the commanding site, overran frieudiy antitank positions and
thrcatcned to encircle the unit. The members of thc battalion hcld steadfastly
to their positions and, with incredible vigor, hurled back this last enemy assault.
The intrepid leadership of the oficers and the con.ilricuous gallantry displayed
by thc men of all ranks who participated in this diffienlt mission aided materialiy
in capturing mill 122, thereby destroying the enemy's main line of resistance and
affording friendly forces invaluable observation. (General Orders 707, nead-
quarters 90th Infantry Division, 3 November 1945, as approved by the Conunan&
ins General, United States Army Forces, European Theater (Main).)
3. The 1st Eattalion., 876th Infantry Regiment, is cilcd for extraordinary her*
ism and outstanding pcrforznanre a€ duty in action in Germany, during the pe
riad 14 January to 18 January 1945. The 1st Battalion. 876th Infantry Eeniment,
was ordered to capture the towus of Tettingen and Butzdorf and thereby breach
the Siegfried Line Switch of fortifications protecting the Saar-Jrlosellc Triangle.
Employing lighteninglilre tactics and surprise, the objectires were captured with
llght casualties, and strong defenses wcre set up. At approximately 0300 on 15
Jannxry, the enemy launched the first of a series of counterattacks whcn 400
enemy iufanlxgmen swarmed down the hills and snrroundea the towns in a
daperate efiort to regain the rital ~raund. The Germans were driven back after
-
sustaining staggering casualties. Scveu more determined attacks by numerically
8uperior forces were repulsed in a like manner. Carrying parties bmved intense
artillery, mortar, and sniper fire to bring up ammunition and medical supplies.
To deceive the enemy as to the true strength of.our forces, the gallant defenders
maneuvered rapidly from house to house through holes blasted in the sides of
buildi~gs with satchel charges and bazookas, all the time directirig heavy fire
upon the Germans. At one time, 36 encmy tarrks were counted in thc streets
Oi the 2 towns, but the men of the 1st Battalion., disregarding point-blank fire from
the tanks and despite these overwhelming odds, courageously resisted and re.
pelled every attack. In spite of hemy casualities and the fact that the men
occupicd fmllt-line pasitions for 5 Bays without sleep, they bitterly contested
every foot of groun& tenaciously held the uositions, killed approximately 850 Ger-
mans and captured 150, and destroyed 8 tanks and 11 hnli-tracks. The uncon-
querable spirit diaplnyed by theso men in the face of superior odds, and their self-
sacrificing devotion to duty are worthy of the highest emulation. (General
Orders 256, Headquarters 94th Infantry Division, 28 September 1945, as apgroved
' by the Commanding General, United States Army Forces, European Theater
(Main).)
4. The 17th Avmored Englneer Battalion is cited for outstanding performance
Of duty in action agnilist the enemy during the period 22 December 1944 through
17 January 1945, in which the speavheading armored dements of the German
Ardennes break-through were fiwt slopped and annihilated and then the remain-
ing enemy forces in the wcstern half of the bulge cut off from their retreat to
Germany. The gallantry, superior professional skill, brilliant team work, ex-
treme individual ruggedness and will to close with the enemy by the members
of the 17th Armored Jhgineer Dattalion during this period rnateriaily aasisted
the 26 Armored Division in all its adraaces against a determined. tenacious
enemy, as well as overcome almost insurmountable obstacles imposed by weather
and terrain. The men of the 17th dvnaored Cngineer Battalion, in lleroic infantry
fighting, repeatedly attacked fortified towns and heavily defended enemy road
AGO 283GB

sliite of the almost continuous dismounted combat, no essential engineer functions
were neglected. An extremely cold Ardennes wiilter provided ice conditions
which madc tank operalion impossible, and heavy snows mhieh completely
blocked the few inadequate arteries of trnllic, covered mines, and made
their removal additioualiy hazilrdons. The superhuman cfforts of the 17th
Amnored Jhglneer Battallon, together with the daring and determined spirit
which knew no limitations des~ite extreme exhaustion and battle weiuiness of
the individual engineer, culminated in the encirclerneut and virtual annihilation
of the German 2d Panzer Division and in the advance south to line ng with the
Third Army south of Houffalize, thus eut:ting tile German salient in half. (General
Orders 79, Headquarters 2d Armored Division, 31 October 1'345, as approved
by tllc Commanding General, United States Army Forces, European Theater
(Main) .)
5. Ouinneny A, 532d Wngineer Boat and S'kors Ecyirnmlt, is cilrd for extraordinary
heroism at Nassau Bay, New Guinea, from 20 Junc to 2 July 1913. After
a haaaldaus midnight innding in treruenaous surf, the boat crews of Cmwany A,
who had been chargcd with placing a combat team asiiore in emy territory,
left their wrecked craft and prepared tl~enselveu for the ineritable fight for
the beachhead. With rifles and will1 machine guns torn from their lauding cmft,
thcy joined in a desperate 12-hour battle and, sniliering henry casualties, hcld
the portion of the perimeter n~hich korc the bnmt of the enemy nttoelc. In the
grim fight which at tinlcs invoired hand-to-hand combat, the amphibian engineers,
as individuals arid as a group, displayed extraordinary resolution and
coniaae. As a unit comprising one fifth of the American forces on Nassau
Bencll, their courageous action nms the factor which mired the entire forcc from
destruction by n superior ruemy force. In ihe adaptability, determination, and
~villiOmess to SaCPific1, which they disl,iayed, MmpLI1Ly A, 553d Znyinew Rout
and Shore Regiment lived cp to the highest combat ttrnditlons of their corn
and of the Army of the IJnited States. (Gcuerol Ovders 272, IIendqnarters
Sixth Army, 2 December 1945, as npproued by the Commander in Chief, United
Slates Almy Foxes, Pacific.)
6. The Boat Battalion, 5826 Engineer Boat and Shore Repinze+zt, is cited for conspicuous
and heroic action agninst the cuemy at Leyte, Philippine Islands, from
5 Norcmber until 10 December 1944. The boat Imttalion, then opemliug 170
sm:rll craft unloading ships at ?Wit? Beach, 1,os Negros, Admiralty Islands, and
landing combat patrols at various points nn Leytc and Sumar Islands, mas called
upon to supply front-line troop6 by lancing sunplies at Pinnmoponn Point. H'or
4 days, the officers and men of this lluit determinedly landed on the rocky beach,
in the facc of the direct fire of a machine gguo which the infantry could not
locate. Each day, ns the mmps of the LChl's were lowered onto the bench, the
maclline ,Tn mould open fire directly into the well deck of the craft. Despite
the fact that the boat crews were not rcsuonsible for nnloadinr. their craft. thev
the unit partieirated in tire assault landing at Ipil, carrying troops and supplies
for the final attack on Ormoe. Althoogh the landing was made against only
nioderate enemy shore resistance, a fiercc encmy air attack developed later in
the day, which furcell all crnft off the beach. Thc JXhf's of the battalion re-
mained close inshore drspitc the desperate attempts of the enemy pilots, and
furnished Supportin&! fire which destroyed two enemy planes and helped &is

courage any sustained attack on the beach. The enemy planes then attacked
the shipping offshore scuring a dircct hit on one ship and setting it afire. Two
naval craft attempted to aid tllc ship but xvere driven off by the planes. Without
hesitation the bonts of this unit got under way to assist. The enemy planes
then made two desperate attacks on the craft in an attempt to drive them off.
In addition, shore batteries o~eneil up, :mrl it was due only to thc superb hnndling
of the boats aud thcir machine guns that no direct hits were suilered and
at lcast one enemy pl;il~e v;is destroyed. As a result of this heroic action, the
LCWS affected the rescue of 16 survivors. On the following day, while returning
to the ncar shore with battle casualties arid other personnel and without naval
escort, the LCM convoy was s~lolled by enemy planes and atlackcd constantly
Car over an hour. Again tllc skilful handling af the bonts and deadly flre from
their guns accounted for four enemy planes and areventd serious damage. In
all, this unit ocoonnted for 11 pl~ucs destroyed and several probably destroyed.
which in itsclf is an enviable record. The determination, conspicuous heroism,
and high es~lrit de cargs of the Boat Battalion, 52%d Bngineer Boat and Shore
Regiment are in kceping with the highest traditions of the military service.

ILMEDAL OF HONOR.-By direction of the President, under the provisions
of the act of Congress approved 9 July 1918 (WD Bul. 43, 1918). a Medal of
Honor for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of life above and
beyond the call of duty was awarded by the War Departmcnt in the name of
Congress to the followiug-named officer and enlisted marl :
First Lieutenant Frank Burke, 01288033, Army of rhe United States, fought
with extreme gallantry on 17 April 19-15 In the streets of war-torn Nurnbcrg,
Germany, where the 1st Battalion, 15th Infantry Regiment, was engaged in
rooting out fanatical defenders if the citadel of Sazism. As battalion trans-
portation oilicer, Lieutenant Burke had gone forward to select a motor-pool
site, when, in a desire to perform more than his assigned duties and pnrtici-
pate in the fight, he adyanced beyond the lines of the forward riflemen. Detect-
ing a group of about 10 Germans making preparations for a local counterattack,
he rushed back to a nearby American company, secured a light machine gun
with ammunition, and daringly opened fire on this superior force, which de-
ployed and returned his fire with machine pistols, rifles, and rockct launchers.
From another allgle a German machine gun tried to blast him from his em-
placement, hut Lieutenant Burke killed this gun crew and drove off the sur-
viVOM of the unit he had originally attacked. Giving his next attention to
enemy infantrymen in ruined buildings, he picked UD a rifle, dashed more than
100 yards through intense fire and engaged the Germans from behind an
abandoned tank. A sniper nearly hit him from a cellar only 20 yards away, but
he dispatched this adversary by running directly to the basement window.
firing a full clip into it and then plunging through the darkened a~erture to
Complete the job. He withdrew from the Bght only long enough to replace his
jammed riflle and secure grenades, tllen reengaged the Germans. Binding his
shots ineffective, he pulled the pins from two grenades, and, holding one in
each hand, rushed the enemy-held building, hurling his missiles just as the
enemy threw a potato masher grenade at him. In the triple explosion the Germans
were wiped out and Lieutenant Burke was dazed; hut he emerged from the
shower of debris that engillfed him, recovered his riflc, and went on to kill
three more Germans and meet the charge of a machine pistol-man, whom he cut
down With three calmly delivered shots. He then r-tired toward the American
lines an& there assisted a platoon in a raging, 30-minute fight against formidable
armed hostile forces. This enmy group was repulsed, and the intrepid Bghter
moved to another friendly group which broke the power of a German unit
armed with a 20mm. gun in a fierce fire fight. In 4 hours of heroic action
Lieutenant Bul ke singlehaudedly killed 11 and wounded 3 enemy soldiers and
took a lending role in engajcnlents in which an additional 21) enemy were
killed or wounded. His extraordinary bravery and superb Bghting skill were

eXamPI,le, his comrades advanced in the face of savage enemy fire When his
Weapnn was struck by shrapnel and rendered useless, he climbed to the deck of a
friendly tank, manned an exposed mnchine gun on the turret of the vehicle, and,
while bullets rattled about him. fired at an enemy em~lacement with such
devastating accuracy that he killed or wounded at least 10 hostile soldiers and
destroyed their machine gun. Maintaining his extremely dangerous past as the
tank forged ahead, he blasted three more positions, dcstroyed mother mackine

Army, Navy, and Public Health Service organization with which to combat
this military Scourge. 'Throughout the existence of this organhation, he was

fully clothed, thus developing a reuoiutionary method for the control of typhus.
During the epidemic of typhus at Naples and in southcm Italy during the
winter of 1945-1944, Dr. Reihl was responsihle far the operation of massdelousing
stations and the check and survey of the efficiency of delousing in the
Civil PoPUlation. The thoroughness with which he carried out these extensive

measures. At the Dachau concentration camp, it was found necessary to dust
the entire population of 36,000 Inmates as nell as the living quarters, and this
R-as accomplished in less than 6 days by his able and skilled direction. The
effectiveness with which he carried out his isohus . . control work is attested by
the dramatic cessation of new rases at thc end of the incubation period following
the initial dusting. Thc results achieved by Captaip Ryan reve en led the spread

assigned to Preventive Medicine Division, Osee of the Surgeon General, was a
leader iu the search for improved methods of delousing with special reference to
the control of typhus fever in troops and among the civilian populations which
Constitute the reservoir of this daneerous - disease. A method of fumigation - and
effective louse powders resulted from this work. In 1913 and 1941, as Chief of
the Preventive Medicine Division of the Medical Section of Headquarters, North

trials from which rerolutionarv methods aC delousine - - oersons fullv clothed were
dereluyed. His planning, procurement of supplies, training of personnel, and
furnishing of instruction and information demonstrated his foresi~ht and competence
to meet the occurrenec of typhus fever in North Africa arid the outhrenks
of the disease in Italy, particularly when the epidemic of typhus at Xaples in
the winter of IS4344 became a threat to the success of allied military operations.
The control of this epidemic of typhus fcver at Naples is one of the greatest
achievements of modern military - - ~revrntire medicine. Colonel Stone's eontrihution
to this achievement is in the flrst rank. His work, enriching scientific and

guarding two command posts ngainst the assault of powerful infantry and armored
forces which had overrun the battalion's main line of resistance. On the
cluse approach of enemy soldiers, Private Eevtoldo left the protection of the building
he was defending and set up his guc in the street, there to remain for almost
12 hours driving back attacks whilc in full view of his adrerfiaries and completely
exposed to 28~mm nlnchinpgun and small-arms fire. He moved bark inside tlle
command post, strai)ped his machine gun to a table, and covered the main nuproach
to the imiiding by firing througil a window, remnining steadfast even in
tlw face of direct 88-mm lire from tanks only 75 yarlls away. Onc shell blasted
him across the room. bnt he returned to his wengoo. When two enemy wrsonnel
carriers led by n lank moved toward his position, he rnlmiy waited for the troops

and mowed down. the entire group of more than 20 Germans. Soule time
Inter. removal of the command noat to another buiidiun - was ordered. Private
Cer1o7do voluntarily remained behind, corering tile withdrawal ol his comrades
and maintaining his stand ail night. In the morning, he carried his machine gun
to an adjacent building used as Lhe eummand past of another battalion and b~gan
a day.long defense of lliat position. He broke up a heavy attack launched by a

a tank less than 50 yards away fired nt his stronghold, destroyed his machine-gun,
and blew him across the room again: but he on

the past was tinally nbandanrd. With inspiring bravery and intrepidity, Private
Bertoldo withstood the attack of vastly superior forces for more than 48 baurs
without rest or relief, time after time escaping death only by the slightest nlal'kiu
while killing at least 40 hostile soldiers and wounding many more during his grim

Beroice Unit Detachmmt No. 101, Ofice of Strategic Suruices, is cited for
outstanding performance of duty from 8 May to 15 June 1945 in capturing the
Strategic enemy stmng points of 1,8\1k~awi.~, Pangtara, and Loilem in the Cen.
tral Shao States, Bunna. This unit, cumposed of apl~raximately 300 American
omcers and mpn. volunteered to dear the enemv from an area of 10,000 sannre
miles. Its subsequent activities deprived the Jnganese 15th Army of the only
East escape route and secured the Stilwell Road against enemy counterattack.
Although Detachment No. 101 had been engaged primarily in intelligence and
guerrilla artiritieu, it set about the infantry mission of ousting a determined
enemy from a sector long fortifled and strategically prepared. These .4merican
ofacers and men recruited, organized. and trained 3,200 Burmese natives entirely
within enemy territory. They then undertook and concluded succrssfol-
IV a coordinated Cbattnlion offensive neainst " imnortant strnteeic obiectives
through an area containing allnmximatelg 10,000 bnttle-sensouzd Japanese troops.
Locally known as the "Kachm Rangers," 1)elochment No. 101 and its Knehm
troops became a ruthless striking force, con ti nu all^ on the offensive against the
veterans of the Jannnese 18th and 56th Divisions. Throughout - the camoaian. . -
thz Kachin Rangers were equipped will, nothing heavier than mortars and had
to rely entirely upon air-dropped supplics. Besides a numerical superiority of
three to one, the enemy had the ndrantnge of adequate supplies, artillery tnnkettrs.

vulnerabl,le, position on a ridge to support riflemen, he hecame the target of fleree
mortar and small-arms fire from counterattacking Japanese. He repulswl thls
assault by sweeping the enemy with accurate bursts, while explosions and ricocheting
bullets threw blinding dust and dirt about him. He broke up a second
counterattack by hurling grenades into the midst of the enemy forces and then
refused an opportunity to withdraw, volunteering to maintain his post and corer
the movement of American riflemen as they reorganized to meet any further
hostile action. The major effort of the enemy did not develop until the morning
of 21 April. It found I'riwtc dlny still supporting the rifle company in the face
of devastating rifle, machine-gun, and mortar fire. While most of the friendly
troom about him became casualties, he continued to Ere his machine gun until
he was severely wounded and his gun rendered useleas by the burst of a mortar
shell. Refusing to wiadraw from the violent action, he blasted fanatical Japanese
troops with hand grenades until wounded again, this time mortally. By his
intrepidity and the extreme tenacity; with which he held firm until death against

ComPanU, 380th Illlnntrv Re,qim.ent, are eited for outstanding performance of
duty iu armed conflict with the enemy from 9 Jalluary 1845 to 11 January
194.3. With its weary ranlrs depleted after a week of constant exposure to
severe cold, including 4 days of bitter fighting, the lat Battalion, together with
its supporting forces, was nssignedthe mission to seize and hold the town of
BihRin, Relgium, and protect the right flnnk of the 8% Infantry Division in
conjunction with the division's mission of cslablishing a bridgehead over the
Langlir Ronce River. Despite the handicap of deep snow and extremely low
temperatures, the assault companies of the battalion adranced over 000 yards
across flat, exposed termin. In the face of intense artillery, mortar, and
automatie-weapons fire, this battalion succeeded in driving the enemy from his
outpost positions east of Bihdn. after a night characterized by heavy enemy
~hellillg of the bitterly won position, the bnttalion resunled its attack on Bihain
at MSO hours, 10 Jmuary. Defending the town stubbornly, the enemy employed
tank, morl:ar, artillery, and auturnatic-weapons fire and fanatically held
their positions until either killed or overpowered by unrelenting pressure. Bemuse
of the exposed terrain, each house was an enemy fortificntion. Although
the enemy fire caused heavy cnsunltrs among the attackers, it resulted only in
an incrensed rtetermination within the ranlrs to secure the objective. Eracuation
of the wounded was extremely dimcult because of the inclement weather
cqnditinns, tlle nature of the terrain, and the fact that the enemy artillery cur7wed
every apirronch to the town with henry firc, On the morning of 11
Janua~y, the enemy curngietely blanketed the town with a 'h-hour artillery
barrage of great intcusity aiirl. at 09OO hours, an estimated force of 200 enemy
infantrymen supported hy fire tanks attacked the toan from the woods to the

are eited for extraordinary helmism and determined action against the
enemy in the drire from the Roer River to the Rhine River, 23 February4 March
1945. The 1st Buttalton, at 230330 February 1945, against positions well prepared
over an extensivc period uf time, launched the Ninth Army offensive by
crossing the roe^ in assault boats. Heavy enemy artillery fire resulted in direct
hits on the two boat.;. the loss of the hattalion commander, and the Ions of mans

ing ready to advance in less than ;i, an hour. Under devastating enemy artillery
hre, orer flat terrain subjected to automatic-weaoans fire from a dmeProuslr
exposed right flank, the lat Battalion cleared Korrenzig by 0810 and Rurich by
1410. Before midnight on 23 Februarv 1915. the 1st Battalion started a more
2,500 yards north to Baal to repel a n1,rong counterattack supported by direct
tank fire ncainst the remainder of the rcdment. - At 240430 February 1945, the
battalion regrouped in the sonthwest section of Baal, and amid severe artillery
shelling and sniper fire, constituted a rear and left Pank defense. BY 1616 on
25 February lM6, t h ~ 1st Rattolion had moved to and captured Heteerath,
2.600 yards north of Baal, from a fanatically ra~isting enemy force. In addition
positions and establishing contact with flank units. On 27 Pebruary 1015, the
' battalion, Company A riding on the lead tanks of the 771st Tank Battalion, constituted
the lead elements of Task Wrce Church, which initiated the Roer-Rhine
tueak through, and thrust forward 20 kilometells before dark. The many
Prisoners and civilians streaming to the rear were er4dcnce of this battalion's
aggressiveness. By 281700 Fehrunry 1945, rhc 1st Battalion, brought up to the
left flank of the 2d Battalion, which had passed through by pushing forward
releutlemly on foot wheu the road was blocked, had destroyed or captured an
enemy force east of Waldniel consisting of 500 troo~s and 7 tarlks and selfpropelled
field pieces. At 010535 March 1945, the 1st Battalion again de
trucked and assisted in clearing Boinheim. Again on 2 Xarch 1915, xt 1400, this
tank-riding battalion led off, heading due enst for the Rhine. Eut of St. Tonis,
au encounter with a strong enemy force of 8 self-propelled 88-mm. guns and 200
infantrymeu caused the loss ol 4 tanks on which 1st BatlaIim personnel were
riding. - A total of eicht - tanks ridden bv 1st Battalio men had been nut out
of action. Swinging north again toward Moers on 3 %larch 1916, the battalion

Santo IXmingo, 4,200 feet ilk elevation, guarding the entrance to Iciangan, last
major Japanese defense position and supply base on Luzon. The advance through
the rugged and wild mountain provinee was made along two parallel and tortuous
mountain trails, blasted from the side of rock cliffs and flanked by dense jungle
nud rain forest. The trails were mined, cratered, and blociced by numerous landslides
and tank traps. Eight gruelling days of bitter close-in fighting against

stubborn resistance brought the Zd Battalton to within striking distance of the
main enemy position. High winds and typhoon rains hampered engineer and
pioneer operations and made supply and evacuation by hand carry extremely
difficult. Well-trained enemy infantry in good physical condition and armed
with a high percentage of automatic weapons, defended the knife-cdged ridga
of the positions, which were completely tunnelled through and honeycombed with
cares. Jungle arid ver~ical rlilfa on either pank canalize3 the attack of the
26 Battalion. For 4 days, i.he 2d Buttalion hurled attacks against this position
unlil it was finally taken on 5 July by a savage assault with hand grenades,
bayonets, and satchel charges. The enemy fought to the death, and friendly
casualties were high. During. the nighls of T A and G7 July, the enemy attemptd
to retake the position with fielrc counterattacks which were beaten back. During
the period 23 June to 7 July 1945, 345 enemy dead were counted on the front of
the 2d Battalion and two prisoners of war werc taken. The defeat was a decisive
one and opened the way to the seizure of Kiangan. Tons of ammunition and

forest, with slopes of from 30' to 60" to be overcome and defended by dclermined
enemy in concrete pillboxes, wooden bunkrrs, and cntrenehments. By its daring

5'; Thc gd Bottalhon, SSOth Infantru Reginlent, is cited for outstanding per-
formance of duty in armed conflict with the enemy. At 0830 on 7 August
1944, the 2d Batteliorr 380th Infanlrv Regiment, launched an attack toward
St. Joseph, France. By 0530, the leading company began receiving intense
A00 2988B

artillery, machinegun, and smnll~arms
fire. All through the rest of the day,
heavy fighting vent on and the two leading companies were able to ad-
vance another a00 yards before darkness came and defensive positions were
prepared for the night. B- ore dawn on S August, the German artillery he-
wn a concentration which blanketed the entire battalion area and lasted
for 45 minutes, and its intensity delayed the jump~off time of the battalion's
attack. The battalion sector was some 1800 yards in widch and ran through
wmds of varying density and over bald, open hills that were under direct
enemy observation and subject to all their fire power. At about 0800, the
battalion resumed the attack. Here the battalion bore the brunt of the
di~ision attack, being almost in the center of the division sector. It en-
countered the strongest of enemy installations, including permanent gun em-
placements hewn out of thc granite rocks of a quarry and a n extensive
series of fox holes and trenches reinforced by stone walls and barbed wire
entanglements. Sereral times hand-to-hand nmbat was needcd to reduce
these positions. Even though outnumbered, it continued the attacks against
fanatlcal opposition in the face of intense artillery concentrations, including
multiple-barrelled rocket projectors, antitank guns, 88mm guns, mortar,
and machine fire. Through agg.~resairenesa, determination, and sheer cour-
age, by 1030 it had gained FoO yarda of bltterly contested ground. Then
the enemy counterattacked. The numerically superior enemy closed in upon
the battalion and a furious hand-to-hand battle raged. Radio operators,
runners, and liaison personnel all joined in the battle to muster every avail-
able weapon to force the enemy hack. Finally, the flghting skill and spirit
of the Bd Battalion showed its effect. Those enemies who were not killed,
wounded, or captured were put to rout and their morale broken. Without
respite the battalions' attack continued. When one company was suffering
heavy casualties and becamc disorganized by lire from a self-propelled gun,
the last remaining officer in the company, at great risk to his life, knocked it
out with a bazooka. Such leadership and disregard for personal safety
characterized the actions of all members of the battalion. By nightfall it had
advanced to within GOO yards of the St, Joseph fortress, and by constantly
pouring fire from small arms, mortars, and artillery into the fortress, they
prevented the enemy from manning their gun pasitions atop the fortress,
thus being able to clean up the outposts of the enemy that surrounded the
fortress. The heavy shelling shook the fortress continuously throughout the
night. me next morning, the German commander of the fortress, his troops
decisively defeated and thoroughly demoralized, and seeing the hopelessness
of his Situation, surrendered the fortress. Battalion losses during the 3-day
action were 154 kilied, wounded, or missing. An estimated 261 Germana
were killed, 428 taken prisoner, and 178 wounded. Five enemy assault
guns, three self-propelled guns, five antitank guns, seven antiaircraft guns,
one tank, and seven mortars were destroyed. An undetermined but large
amount of enemy small arms, ammunition, and food stores was captured or
destroyed. Thus, during the 3-day period from 7 through 9 August 1944
the Zd Battalion, 330th Infantry Regiment, wilh a notable display of courage,
combat skill, and determination broke stubborn enemy resistance at St.
Joseph and the approaches to St. Malo, decisively defeated the enemy, and
prevented them from denying our entry into the St. Malc-Dinard area. The
undaunted courage and unswerving devotion to duty shown by ench man of
the battalion reflect the highest traditions of the armed forces. (General

8. The 3d Battaliorb, 137th infantrv Regiment, is cited for outstanding prformance
of duty in action againat the enemy in France from 18 to 21 November
1934. On the morning of IS November 1944, the Sd Battdion, 137th InfantvU
Regiment, launcheil an attack toward high . - ground nnrth~easr of Harprich. as
Dart of tile 35th Infanrry Division offensive designed to break the winter offerrrive
line established by the Germans on the axis uf Nancy. Sarreguemines, and
Mannheim. The iirst objective was seized nt 0916 tamns, aftcr the hattaliun
had forded an icy stream and had driven through barbed Kire entanglements
at tile muddy upproaches to thc town of Beiling. Pausing momentarily, the
troops pmsed 011 11ndcr increNSingly accurate shellfire, across open terrain, nud
entered the towrl of Bistrofl. Bitter houw-tn-llunse fighting ensued, until 1230
bourn when possession of the town was sri-urnd. Marshy ter~~in in tbat vicinity
defied all efforts to move either track or wheeled vehicles. In anticipation of
an attempt to retake Bistroff, antitank mines were hand carried under eovcr
of darkness and plamrl astride the two roads lending into the towo. At NO0
19 November, Company K launched an attack on Hiil 315, thc outstanding terrain
feature in this arca, studdea with gun emplacements which denied the use of
nearby roads to our forces. Pimultnneuusly the G~rmaus cuuntcrattaeked che
town of Bistroff in compnny strength, suiworted by two Mark Y Panther tanka.
Roth tauks were dimbled by the well-plated antitank mines, and the 9d Battalion
riflemen, witil artillery support, placed withering fire among the enemy rnnks,
stalled the enemy attack, gradually turuerl it, and forced lhr Germans back with
heavy casuaU.ies. In the meantime, Company K achicveil a tactical surprise
and, SUpportCd by a heavy nlachiue gun plntoon, stormed the dug-in positions on
nil1 315. The capture of this hill pierced the errerriy defense line, and enabled
armor and other units on the right to advance and seizc Gros-Tenquin. At WDO
20 Kuvemher, the Sd Battaliox uiored toward the enemy stronghold of Areybouse,
across soggy terrain and under artillery and mortar fire, seized several
intervenirrg fortifi2d positions, and that afteruoon laulrched an attack which
carried into the outskirts of Freybouse. The enemy reacted t;trongly wltb well
organized counterattacks. By nightfall, one platoon of Conlpany K was established
in s group of houses in the town. Other units of the Sd Battalion, sup
ported by two tank destroyers, attacked at (MOO the following morning, advanced
rel~ltlessly across an open field swcpt by machine-gun fire, joined tbe platoon
already in the town, and, without respite, proceeded to drive the bitterly resistirrg
Germans from Preyhouse, thereby eliminating the last major ohatacle before
Sarresuemines. Tlie extraordinary heroism, exemplary endurance, and teamwork
displayed by the members of the 3d Battalion,, 137th Infantry Reyiment,
fighting undcr adverw circumstances against a determined and resourceful
enemy, are in accordance with the hizhmt traditions of the military service.

:'9. The dd Battalion, 330th Infantry Eegimwtt, is ciled for outstanding per-
. formance of duty in armed conflict with the enemy. On the. morning of the 10th
December 1944, from an assembly area near Grosshan, Germany, the battalion
attacked with the mission of capturing aud securing tbe town of Stmss, Germany,
and lhus permitting the 5th Armored Division a ~ilace of debouchment
from the lfurtgen Forest in its drive to the Roer River. Taking advantage of
hrlmess, the battalion entered the town of Slrass, completely surprising the
AGO 2S89B

enemy; but when the enemy discovered the battalion had entered the town, in-
tense resistance was encountered. The enemy maneuvered its supporting forces
untll it had sealed off the assault companies by completely surrounding the town.
Despite constant artillery, mortar, and machine-gun fire, the Sd Battalion threw
back daily counterattacks by numerically superior forces of enemy infantry sup
Ported by tanlra and assault guns. During the +day period which saw six
battalion mmmanders in command, because of wonuils or death incurred in
action, the battalion displayed its superb fighting spirit by refusing to allow
it@& to be defeated. Although without food for 3 days and without suflicient
medical supplier to treat the ever-increasing number of its own and enemy
wounded. the battalion never lost its determination to succeed in the face of
what appeared to be a desperate and hopeless situatioo. During this period tile
Yd Battation lost 293 men killed. wounded. and missinp, while the enemy suffered
-
an estimated 550 cauualt~es. Five enemy tanks were destroyed by our forces
durinp this Deriod. As a result of the outstanding courafe and determination
. -
to succeed displayed by every lighting man of the Yd Hottelirm, 380th Infantry
Rwiment, frum 10 tilroueh 13 December 1914, a stronp enemy force was repeatedly
area. The aggressiveness and superb devotion to duty displayed by the Sd
Battalion against overwhelming odds and under extremely difficult conditions
merit much praise and are in keeping with the flnest traditions of the armed
forces of the United States. (General Orders 230, Headquarters R3d Infantry
Dirision, 4 December 1045, as approved by the Cornmanding General, Third

10. The 8d Baltalion. SHRth I?dantrw Regimel~t, is cited for outstanding accomplishment
in combat during the period 3 to 12 April 194Z in the vicinity of
IIeilbronn, Germany. After crossing the Neckar River by assault boat, tile battalion
secured a bridgehead and gregared to hold its position when intense enemy
. ' artillery and mortar lrarrages landed wilh almost pinpoint precision on the crossing
site, making further use of assault Ilonts impossible and isolating the battalion.
Simultaneously ware after wave of hostile troops, an entire regiment in
strength, counterattacked, and the weight of the numericaliy-soperior foe forced
the battalion to withdraw to the river's edge. Despite het~vy losses, remnants
of the battalion reorganized and, when the Germans stopped to dig in, attacked
again and retook most of the lost ground. Every night for 5 nights the enemy
attacked, tryiug desperately to vegain the east brmk, but each time they were
thrown back. On one occasiun, nfter a 3-mile-long coh~rnn of enenw troops and
vehicles poured into the lines, the Germans charged with reckless and fanatiral
zeal, and succeeded in n~nking a slight - - ~,enetration. Committing its reserves, the
bnttalion stopped the attack nnd reestablished its lines. By the individual
heroism and intrepidity of the officers and men of this command, ihe depleted
battalion held the bridgehead for 8 days and nights under continuous and savage
shelling, enabling the division to push other troops across the river and insure
the success of the vital operation. The accomplishment of the Jd Battalion,
898th Infantry Eegiment, reflects the highest traditions of the Army of the United
States. (General Orders 277, Headquarters 100th Infant17 Division, 9 November

paigning on the island of Mindanao. Frequently braving enemy grmnd Um,
pilots of the ESth Liaison Rquadva aided two divisions by carrying out phot*
graphic and reconnaissance missions, locating enemy positions ahead of advancing
mound troops, directing tactical aircraft, pin-pointing targets with smoke gre
nadea, leading transport aircraft on drop missions, and bringing messages and
information to rapidly moving forward elements. with hut little interruption
t.hrougllout this period, the %th Liaisa Sguadron maintained a daily courier
schedule for evacuating - casualties from front lines to hosoitals or to lamer airfields
for evacuation from the island. In all, ailglanes of the 25th Liaison Sguadrontlew
a total of 2.53G huurs in a sinele - month. an arernee - of 126 hours for each
available ailot, and. during the entire period, carried a total of 2,444 passengers
and 125,OM) pounds of freight. mail. and suoulies. To maintain this erueline
- - - -
schedule, practically all maintenance work and briefing was carried out at night.
Many times the photographic section worked all night to meet photographic re
quirements, while the squadron's medical personnel rendered invaluable assistance
to the ground forces medical troops in eracuatiun work. By the sk'ill and courage
of its pilots, and the tiroless devotion to duty of its ground personnel, the 85th
Liaison Squadron piayed a major part in the conquest of hlinrlanao and the con-
sequent liberation of the southern islands of the Philippines. By their achieve-
ments in the Xindanao operations, personnel of the 85th Liaisolz Squadron brought
great credit on themselves and on the United States Army Air Forces. (~eneral
Orders 2186, Headquarters Far East Air Forces, 10 Sovember 1945, as approved
by the Commander in Chief. United States Army Forces, Paciflc.)
12. The 66th Troop Carrier Squadron is cited for outstanding yerformance of
duty in action in the Philippine Islnnds on 23 February 1945. On that day,
American and Filipino forces undertook to liberale 2,100 Allied civiiians arid
prisoners of Tar interned in the Japanese prison camp at Los Banos, at the
southern end of Laguna de Bay, Lueon. The pian of operations called for a
ground attack from the north, an anlphibious attack from hguna de Bay, and a
wratroop attack, as well as guerilla lnflltrntion The mission of the 65th Troop
Canier Squadron was to transport the air-borne troops and to drop them within
a small targel area in the proximity of the prison. Taking off in complete dark-
ness from Nichols Field, Luzon, early in the morning of 23 February, the forma-
tion of nine G47 aircraft headed toward Manila Bay, then turned and came back
over the target. Although the small dropping zone was surrounded by trees
on three sides, and a high-power electric line extended diagonally across the area,
the air-home troops were placed in the DrOEr area, close to the comwund, without
-.
injury, and were surcessful in neutralizing gun positions and entering the prison
within 15 minutes after the first parachute had opened. A11 the internees, suffer-
ing from lnalnutrition and various diseases, were successfully released, as Amer-
icnn and Filipino forces achieved complete surprise. By effecting the orerise tim-
- .
ing necessary to the success of this operation, and by drollping the paratroops
into the target area as quiciiiy and effleiwtly as possible, the crews of the G5th
Troop Carrier Spuadron piayed a major part in the succwsful liberation of
several thousand men, women, and children in desperate need of hell). The cour-
age and skill of the personnel of the 65th Troop Cawier Sguadron are in keeping
with the highest traditiolls of the armed forces of the IJnitcd States. (General

long and hazardous drive from the Rhine River, this battalion accp~lted with grent
determination its mission of bridging the Elbe River. nven though it was impossible
to make a detailed reconnaissance of crossing - sites, ihe officers in command
made a prompt decision, and operations began. Two bridges were ap~roaehing

evacuation was completed. Then, a third attempt ta establish a crossing was
made and resulted in the first bridgehead across the vitally important river. The
skill, courage, and efacient efforts of the oflcers and men of the S8d Enginem'
Conbat Battalion assured the successful assault, despite fierce enemy resistance.
Their achievement coutrihuted materially toward the completion of thc Allies'
missioll and was in keeping with the highcst standards of the armed forces of the
United States. (General Orders 642, Headquarters Seventh Army, Western

14. The 1617th Bngineer Con~hat Bettalion is cited for outstanding performance
of duty asainst the enemy from 7 to 10 February 1945. For 72 hours, the gallant
men of this battalion battled the overwhelming diflicnlty of concentrated
enemy artillery flre and the raging, fiood-swollen current of the Suuer River, near
nilligen, Luxembonrg, to maintain a constant Horn of infanirymen and supplies
to the hostile shore. Limited to night reconnaissance by conslnnt surveillance
from the Siegfried Line, they employed assault boats to transport the first company
across. With daylight and the attack developing, the hnttnlion nti.empted
to construct footbridges, only to have them either destroyed by dircct, hostile
artillery fire or swept away by the torrential current. All else failing, the engineers
brought up 450 assault craft and, despite heavy losses weered iu men and
mat4rie1, contiuued to ferry nlen, food, and ammunition across the river until the
entire regiment and their equipage had been unloaded onto the newly established
bridgehead and sufficiently secured against all enemy attack, cxcept by artillery,
these intrepid soldiers constructed a Class 40 ponton bridge downstream for the
movement of reinforcements and Supplies to the infantrymen assaulting the
Siegfried Line. The 166th Bngineer Combat Battal.ion's indomitable fighting
spirit, indefatigable efforts in tbe face of airnost insurmountable adds, and
their unflinching derotion to duty are in keeging with the finest traditions of
the military service. (General Orders 294, Headquarters Third United States
Army, 14 Octobcr 1946, as approved by the Commanding Gmeral, United States

15. The 247th Engineer Combat Battalia is cited for outstanding performance
nf duty in action against the enemy from 2 to !& October 1944, in the vicinity of
5Parienberg, Rimberg, and Aachen, Germany. Against intense enemy mortar,
ariiilery, and small-arms flre, this unit undertook its vital mission of constructing
four bridges acruss the Wurm River, so that infantry and tank groups could
cross the river and attack. Although the battalion was forced to deploy as infantry
upon reaching the sites; and despite heavy cnsualtles, the first bridge was
complertd 2 hours after construction beran. This permitted tank support to
launch an attack. The following day, while still under artillery fire, a Bailey
bridge was built near the same sile. On 4 Oztober, after fighting as infantry for
2 days, the unit completed the fourlh and final treadway bridge. Without a rest
period, the battalion then assumed the oIfcnsive as infantry, and moved agaillst
the Siegfried Line. For 4 days and nights of continual combat, they drore from
Kerkrade, Holland, into Aachen, Germany, to capture 22 pillboxes and 196 pris-
AGO 298YIi

oners. The heroic achievemcnt of the 247th Eflginew Cmnbat Battalim, which
rnabled the 30th Infantry Division awl thc 2d Armored Imisioo to drive to the
Roer River line, was in keeping with the flnest traditions of the combat engineers
and the armed forces. (Gcncral Ordcrs 642, Headquarters Seventh Army, Western

16. The 348th Ftghter Ovovp is cited for outstanding performance of duty in
action in thc Philippine Islands on 24 December 1944. On that day, four P47
squadrons of the group were afisigned to provide ixotcction for twenty-two B-24
aircraft making n raid on Clark P'ield, Jxmn, iheu one of the principal Japancse
stronfiholds in the Philippine Islands. Taking off from an airstrip ou the island
of Leyte, the airplanas of the .3/r8th Fighter Group rendcmonsed over Masbate
With the bombers, which w?re flying from Palau. 'Cwo of the 1'47 pilots, dis~
patched on a preraid reconnaissance, reached the target area 25 minutes ahead
of the main StriXing force n.ithont being delccted. Finding the air filled with
Jaiianese airplanes at altitudes of from 10,m to 10,000 feet, the^ unhesitatingly
dived into the nearest enemy formation and, in the ensuing battle, destroyed
3 enemy aircraft and damaged another. Thcn, before the remaining Jnpsnese
collld close in on them, thasc pilots radioed full information to the main American
force on the number and disposition of the enemy formalions, tile weather, and
possible targets. .is the Amcrican bomhcrs approached Clark Field under a
cover of P4i aircraft at 20,000 feet, enemy figirlers began to attack. SN~, a
Series of flghts bctween elements and flights of P47's against 2-airplane flights
and single aircraft of the enemy rag#?d xt altitudes of 2,000 to 20,000 feet for
10 to 16 lnlies on either flank of the Iiherators' approach. Despite increasing
antiaircraft fire, two of the Thunderbolt sauadrons urovided close orotection for
the bombers, eng;i,sing the enemy fighter aircraft only wiien they broke through
the cowr to attack the bombere. In a 45-minute battle, the P-4i uilots destroyed
32 hostile aircraft arid probably 2 othcrs, or more than half of the airborne
Japanese fighters, and thereby enabled the American bomb squadrons to destroy
grounded aircraft, large hangars, extensive supply dump, and repir instailations
without suffering a single casualty. Of the Thunderbolts which participated
in this perfectly coordinated strike, four were lost, with me pilot crashlanding
safely. Credit for the outstanding success of this mission mwt be
given not only to the pilots of the gruup bnt also to the maintenance, operations,
and intelliger~cr personnel who readied the airplanes and airmen for the flight.

17. The 4036 Troop Corricr. Group is cited for outstanding performance of duty
In action in the Philippine Islands from 17 April to 30 June 1M5. When Eighth
Arms units, after landing on the island of Mindwnno, quickly overreached their
supply lines, and prolonged rains rendered ground routes impassable, it became
necessam that air transoort he used to resunnlv .. . ammunition, rations. and medical.
engineering, signal, and fuel supplies to the rapidly advancing tpoops. Assigned
on sudden notice to take oart in the Mindnnao oucrations, the 403d TTOOU Uarrier
Group, then engaged in transport activity (over an area ranging from Australia
to the Wilipl>ines, had to set up a temporary ndvancc base to meet Eighth Army
requirements. TO a~eon~plish their vitally important task, C47 crews of the 40%

nrofessional skill, and ullwarvering determination of the combat crews, together
with the superior technical skill and devotion to duty of the ground personnel,
the 451st Bombarrlmsnt Group has upheld the highest traditions of the military
service, thereby reflecting great credit on thernseives and the armed forces of
the United States of America. (General Orders 3767, Headquarters Fifteenth
Air Force, 2 October 1944, as approved bg the Commanding General, Mediter-

19. The 475th Fighter Group is cited for outslanding performance of duty in
action in the Philippine Islands from 26 October to 26 Decemher 1944. Operat-
ing from 8 airstrips on lhe island of Leyte, pilots of the 475th Fighter Group
destroyed 158 Japanese aircraft and prubxbiy destroyed 26 others in aerial
combat during this period, assisting in wresting air supremacy from the enemy
early in the course of the Philippine operations. Prior to the arrival of their
airplanes at Leyte, Pilots of the group, which had arrived in the Philippines
shortly after the initial assault, borrowed aircraft of another organization and,
of their own volition, made fighter sweeps over nearby enemy installations,
while more than 200 ofticers and men of the unit worked for 2% days through-
out enemy bombing and strafing attacks to service United Stales naval figtllrrs
and atlack bombers at Dulag airstrip, although necessary equipment and parts
had to be borrowed, improvised, or salvaged. On 7 Ikcember 1944, the group
flew 91 sorties to give patrol protection to American landing operations in
western Leyte, and destroyed 28 enemy aircraft in numerous battles. On 26
December 1944, escorting heavy bombers over enemy-held Clark Field, Luzon,
pilots of the 475th Fighter Group destroyed 26 enemy aircraft to bring the total
aerial viclories Of the group to 500. In addition, the 475th Fightm Ckoup
destroyed numerous enemy airplanes on the ground and seriously damaged
cnemy airfield installations. Of the pilots who participated in these operations
2 were killed, 5 were reporled missing, and 4 were wounded, n,hile 14 of their
aircraft were destroyed. Credit for the brilliant achievements of the group
during this critical 60-day period must go to not only the pilots but also to the
maintenance crews and other ground personnel without whose skill and tire
less devotion to duty these victories would not have been possible. In making
this outstanding contribution to the successful completion of the first phases
of the I'hilippinc iihcration camgaign, the personnel of the 475th Fighter Group
upheld the highest traditions of the United States Army Air Forces. (General
Orders 2156, Headquarters Far East .4ir Forces, 10 November 1945, as approved

20. The 687th Field Artillery Battalion is cited for outstanding performance of
duty in action against the enemy during the period, 1G22 December 1944 in
Luxembourg and Belgium. On 10 December 1944, the 687th Fleld Artillery
hat tali or^, less Battery B, was reinfuvcing the 28th Infantry Division from
y~sitions south of Wilte, Luxembourg. The enemy launched a strong attack
early on the morning of 16 December which penetrated the infantry and sur-
rounded the batallion. The battalion was heavily shelled. The howitzer
crews, on 10 December, with great courage and determination fought off re-
peated enemy attacks against their yositions. Battery R was returned to
the battalion. It arrived and was emplaccd on the night of 10 December
1944, having passed lhrough enemy territory. Throughout 17 December 1944,
Battery U placed a barrage around the positions of Bnttery A and C, en-
abling them to beat off a determined enemy nttack and to displace to more
AGO 2989B

advantageous positions. On the night of 17 December, the Bnttalion Headquarters
and Battery B were surrounded but they broke oul., made a night
march through enemy territory, and went into positiorr with Batteries A
and B near Wiltz, Luxembourg, to support the defense of that city. All
obsematlou wsts had been overrun and the personnel yere missing. On 18
and 19 Deecmber, the battalion was the only artillery in the sector and,
with outstanding initiative and admirablc fortitude, supparted the defensc
of the city of Wilts. l'he supply lines were cut huc the battalion trains fought
through with ammunition arid suilplies. The batteries were in position in column
and as the enemy attncked the flrst battery, it withdrew under tlle protecting
fire of the remaining batteries. On the night of 19 December, the
battalion command post was captured and heavy casualties were suf-
25 yards uf the remainder of the battnlion. At 2200 that night, the battalion
was attacked on all sides and fought courageously for several hours.
The battalion command post was captured and heavy casualties were suffered
by both sides. On 20 Decembcr 1944, the battalion follgllt its way to
Bastogne and there reorganized. At 0200 on 21 Deeemher, Usttery A was
attacked from the south and by 0330 was engaged from all sides by machine
guns, small arms, mortars, and grenades. At 0815, six encmy tanks encircled
the position in the fog and attacked. The sccond section gun was
destroyed after knocking out a innk at point blank range. After heavy
fighting, the battery was overnm. The cannoneers withdrew only after dismantling
their howitzers. The battalion then deployed four howitzers in
antitank positions and defended them as riflemen against incessant attacks.
Tho supported infantry withdrew at 2000 on 22 December 1944, and the three
remaining howitzers in the battalion remained to corer the withdrawal,
firing continuously for 45 minutes after ail communication had been lost.
In one 11-hour period, this 3-gun battery fired over 1,200 rounds against the
enemy and was the only organized artillery in the sector. At 2300, the
three remaining howitzers were withdrawn to n position sonth of Neufehateat,
Belgium. The individual leadership, courage, valor, and Ienncity of the
personnel of the 687th Field Artillary Battaliom, the success with which the
battalion retained its fightiug elficierlcy in the face of superior odds, and its
courageous stand are in keeping with the highest traditions of the armed
forms. (General Ortiers 8, Headquarters 61st Vield Ariilicry Brigade,

21. The 868th Bombardment Squadron (X) is cited for outstanding performance
of duty in action in the Netherlands East Indies on 7 May 1945. On that
night, E24 aircraft of the 868th Bmbardment Squadron (H) made the second
of three long-rangc strikes at enemy inslallations on the island of Java, Wetherlumis
East Indies. Prior Lo undertaking this series of missions, which inrolved
a round trip of approximately 3,000 miles, a number of experilnental flights had
been made to determine the minimum amount of fuel that could he used, so that
a maximum bomb load could be carried. Having successfully made a similar
raid on 27 April 1PL15, the 868th Bomberdment Squadron (8) dispatched a formation
of 10 Liberators on 7 May to attack shipping in the naval and commercial
basin at Soerabaja harbor. Java. Blping through a heavy barrage of accurate
antiaircraft fire which damaged 3 of the aircraft, and held in the rays of 17
searchlights for approximately 15 minutes, the 868th. Bombardntent Sqtedron
(HI dropped 500-pound general-purpose bombs and scored hits on 5 vessels,

causing extenslve damage and destruction, starting 6 large and 3 small fires in
the basin area. Two bombs struck submarine sheds, and one string of bombs
hit a quay along the edge of the bssln. Fires were sisihlc for half an hour after
the Liberators had left the tnrget.area. The superb courage and daring of the
air crews in fighting their way thruufih hcavy eneuly oppaitiou to complete thls
extremely long and hazardous mission, and the esccptional skill and tireless
devotion to duty of the memhrrs of the ground echelon who carried out the pre

22. Company 0, 8% Chemical Mot'ta,' Baltdion, is cited for outstanding performanrc
& dots il, action against the enemy from 10 to 27 Srpten~ber 1913, near
Chluuzi PBSS, Itniy. This company landed at Jlauri, Italy, with the Ranger
Force on the night of September 8 and 9, 1913. with the mission of seizing the
high ground coutrollillg Chilinzi Pass and of securing the lcft flank of the Fifth
Army. The holding of this position was vital for flank security, for obserrntioo
on the plains of Naylcs, and for observation on Germar~ supply routes and eommunication
lines to the Salerno battlefront. During this period, Cm%pnll.y C
exhibited unusunl gallantry arid determination in manhnndling mortars and sup
plies to mountain tops. The men morked continuously, night and day, kceping
the unit supplied. Mortar crews were cut down to one and two men per gun,
and the remaining men fought wiih the Rangers and went on combat patrols.
Subjected to almost continuous mortar and artillery flre, and rcpatedly attacked
by a determined, numerically superior enemy, Compmfl C maintained
extremely heavy fire and filled in all gaps in the Ranger line. Compew 0 men
fought side by side with the Rangers, using their automatic weapons and
grenades lrith devastating effect. Compo:~y C motsr fire was of llecessity
brought to within 50 yards of friendly unit:s as seven major counterattacks were
repelled during the period, and numcrous enenly patrols mere sl.opped, often in
bitter, close-in fighling. Compan,g 0's mortars kept the German Army mpply
route under continuous effectire fire, although the suppiy route mas 2,000 yards
beyond the authorized range. The men aud offi:!ers of Cmpm~y C, 8Sd Chemical
Xortar Battuiiom, displayed extraordinary delermination in supplying their
mortars, which werc nL the top of the mountain, with ammunition nlld spare
mortar parts. Despite limited fond and water supplies, and the continuous
nature of enemy fire and activity, this company maintained its courage aud
determination thruugbout an exteudctl orlslaught by an enemy determined to
wipe out its pmitima and made possible the silccessful accomplishment uf a vttal
mission. (General Orders 647, Headquarters Seventh Army, Western Military

23. Company L, 180th Infantry Regiment, is cited far outstanding performance
of duty in action against . the enemy on 19 and 20.4~ril1945 in Nurnbere. -. Germany.
After two infantry eompauies, ottac1:ing a well-fortified castle guarding the npproaches
to the walled "Iuner~City" of R'urubcrg, had beeu stoplled by fanatical
enemy resistance, Company L was conlmitted in nu attempt to clear the enemy
from the castle. When two frontal assaults were repulsed, Compa?zy L maueurered
around the lcft flank of the area in an effort to gain entrance to the castle.
Infiltrating into the walled city, Com%pmy L met a deadly hail of fire emanating
from a museum to its rear. One platoon sent to clear this resistance was twice
AGO 2989B

denied entrance. Doggedly attacking a third time, the platoon seized the buildin&
capturing 70 enemy and eliminating the stroug mint. Using hand grenades,
pistols, rifles, and submachine guns, the members of Company L then assaulted
the castle, engaging the enemy in 30 minutes of close combat, killing and capturing
the entire garrison of 120 fanatical defenders. Resuming tho attack on tile
following mollling, Company L wedged through the enemy ring and continued its
advance, clearing an area ol500 scluare meters, capturing an additional 80 enemy
ami cri~shing all remaining resistance. The hcroism, combat ~xoficiency, and
brilliant actlieretnent of Compa?~$l L paved the way for the eventual reduction
of the ancient Nazi shrine, alld are exemillmy of the fineat tmdirions of the Army
of the United Slates. (General Orders 328, Heariqnarters 180th Infantry Regiment,

pThc Intelligenoo and Recolrnaissance Platoon, 329th Infantry Regiment.
iscited for outstanding performance of duty in armed conflict aith tile enemy
' from 4 to 16 Srplember 1944. On 4 September 1044, the Intelligelzce and Reconnaissw~ce
Platoom CI.OSS~~ the Laire Rirer into cnen~y~held terrilory, with the
mission of Scouting enemy positions and movemmts. After abunt 6 days of e9tended
patroiling through an area some 70 miles wide and 100 n~lles deep south
of the Loire River, the piatoou receivrd word through French informai1i.s in Is
soudon, Hl'nnce, that a large force of apl,rosimntely 20.000 Germam was moving
eastwnrd in an attempt to escaw through the Belfort Gap into Germany. Racing
through enemy territory, heedless of the threat of capl.ure ur annihilation
which faced them at. every Lnrn, the Intelligence emt Rrconnaissance Platoon
boldly effected a contact. with the cormnander of the Gwman forces and convinced
him of the flesirability of surrendering his force to the American Alrny.
While the platoon lender returned to the regimental command past for instrnctions,
the platoon was chnrgcrl with the mission of lnainiaining contact with the
enemy force and rrstrniniug the loral EFI from making any premature show of
fwce. 8rlued with but n few rifles, machine guns, and pistols, this courageous
group virtually contained the entire enemy foree by their sheer audacity and
bold and aggressive patrolling. Constantly patrolling the area, tracking down
rumors of other enemy groups, being sniped at by isolated enemy armed with
burp guns. and having their veliicies sabotaged by collaborationist H'rench, the
I?ztelligenee und Reconneissunca Platoon held on to their prize until arrangements
could be made to have the German eomrnander meet wi1.h an authorized
American re~~risentati~,~. This meeting occurred on I1 September 1944 at the
Intelliueme and Reconnaissance Platoon command post at Rolnorantin. Arrangements
were made to hare the German force proceed lo three assembly areas
along the Loire Rirer where thcy would formally surrender and turn in their
weapons. The long trek to the river began wilh the Intelligence and Recon-
?~aisSame Platoon actinx as guides, flank guides, and liaison agents with the
French forces along the way. Only the limely inlervention of the men of the
platoon prevented freynent outbreaks by the FFI who were not familiar with
the situation or the terms of the surrender. Finally. on 16 September 1944, at
Reaugency, H'rance, the German commander surrendered himself, his troops, and
all of their equipmen1 to Major General Macon, Commanding General of the 83d
Infalltry Division, acting on behalf oP the Army commander. The outstanding
gallantry of this Intrepid group of soldiers in arranging and executing the flrst
and lnrgcst mass Surrender of the war up to that time is without prailcl in
the annals of military history. The courage and devotion to duty of every man

citations of the following units in the general orders indicated are confirmed under

dent of the United States as publie evidence of deserved honor and distinction.

@e l8t Battalion, 318th Infantry Regiment, is cited for outstanding wr-
$&nnce of duty in nctlon against the enemy during the period 2U8 December
h1944. AttackinF on Christmas Dav with a force less than half normal aiter sev-
i,~
r era1 without rest, the battalion began its assault of the enemy positions encircling
Rastogne, Belgium. Ttlronghout the next 4 days and 3 nighls, the depleted bat-
talion battled its way in freezing temperature through the strongly held .woods
and villaaes separating the troom from the besieged forces in Bastosue. The
-
intense resistance of the enemy and nwll-dug-in ~ositions resulted in their anuihllation
only through constant use of the grenade and hand-to-hand combat. Suffering
heavy casualties, constantly exposed to rak'ing enemy mnehine-gun and
sniper fire from Ranking positions, the hattalion fought on with an unrelenting
determination tirat overcame all obstacles, routed the enemy, and established
contact with the forces within Bastogne. The heroic aggressiveness of the intrepid
infantrymen of the 1st Battalion, 818th Infantry Reglment reflects the
tinest traditions of the Army of the United States. (General Orders 183, Headquarters
80th Infantry Division, 18 July 1M5, as approved by the Commanding
General, United States Army Forces, European Theatcr (Main) .)
2. The Sd Battalion, 1GSth Infantql Eegimat, is cited for outstanding performance
of duty in action against the enemy on Luaon. Philippine Islands, on
20 January 1945. On 20 January 1D15, the Sd llat2nlim, 169th Infantv Reg&
ment, was ordered to penetrate the Japanese drfenses in thc Sison sector and
attack Mt. Alava from the rear (nortlr). Other elements of the regiment were
to be prepared to attack frontally from the south. The effective strength of
the battalion had been reduced from heavy casualties and continuous flghting
since D-day, 9 January 1945, to 350 officers and enlisted men. The attack was
organized and launched as ordered at. 1300. The approach to the base of the
objective extended over 1500 yards of open terrain which was under enemy
observation. The enemy was in greater numerical force than the attacking
battalion, was well equipcd with artillery, mortars, and ammunition, and
oceupied dug-in, wrll-organized positions. Despite heavy artillery, mortar, and
machine-gun Ere which caused many casualties, the battalion moved aggressively
over the open terrain until it reached enemy wsitions on the foothills
of hit. Alavw. It fought its way into these positions. In the meantime, the
enemy reinforced his defenses from the garrison on the top of Mt. Alava.
Although suffering severe casualties Prom small-arms tire in front, and from
artillery i3e from the north and east, the battalion continued to press the
altnck for 2 hours, fnught through the enemy defenses, and overcame all
resistance at approximately 15UO. As the battalion was reorganizing for continued
attack, the battalion omnxander was informed that other elements of
the regiment had occupied the objective from the suulh with virtually no
oplwsition because of the absence of the Mt. Alavn garrison. During this action,
the battalion sustained lasses oi 23 killed, 49 wounded, and 8 missing. From
actual battlefield count, the enemy lost 240 killed. This heroic action on the
AGO 299lB-Frb. RR112O0-46

~mrt of the 3d Dattnlion, 16.91h 1,rfontrq i??ginimt, mtder rrlast dimcult and
haznrdous conditions, was the prime factor in the capture of nit. Alura. The
courage, fighting spirit, and dewtion to duty exhibited by the rrlenlhcrs of this
battalion were in accordance with tile highest tmrlilions of thc armed forces
of the United Stales. (Gcneral Orders 344, Headquarters 438 Infantry Division,
19 June 1946, as approvcd by the Commander in Chief. United States
Army Forcru. Pacific.)
3. The 7th Fiqhtor Rquadron, is cited for outstanding ~cformanee of duty in
action on 15 May 1841. On that dny P-40 aircraft of the 7th F%ghter Squadron
flew as escorts for t,wo Allied photogrqjhie reconnaissance oircraIt cuming in
low along the short of Ja~lanesc-held Hiak Island, north of Dutch New Guinea,
to obtain vitally needed prcinvasiou photographs. To proside n~axinuum cover,
the sq11adrOn uns dividcd into two flights, one 8tayiIlg with the phutograDhic
airplanes under the cloud formation, and the other rrxnaining above the overeast
to thwart any enemy attempt at interception from above. When the top cover
aircraft, flying at an xltitudc of 10,000 feet, wcrc suddenly and aggressirely
attacked by a force of at least 18 enemy fighters, some of rhem diving from
above arid others zoaruilrg rmt of surrounding elonds, the pilot3 of the 7th Fighter
Squadmn were caught at an altitude disadvantage and mere outnumhercd clearly
3 to 1. Knowing that if they dived to gain speed and sought an opgortunity
to attack the Japanese from the rear, at least some of the enemy airplanes
would get throngh to the reconnnissance airplanes below, the pilots of the 7th
Rixlhter Swudron meriticed speed and safety to pull up and engwge the hostile
fighters at point~blank range, In the ensuing batlie, 1 1 P1O ~ pilots, fighting
heroirdlly against a farlatically aggressive and numerically sli~wrior enemy,
destroyed scven of the Jayanese Sghtws, pcubably dcstroyeti onother, and
damaged others, and frustrated and routed the errtire enemy force. Although
their airpinries were battered by the ficrcr enemy attnul

afire, and left it sinking. In 3 days, the H'ifth Alr Force had coqletely am
nihilated theconvoy, dealiog the most decisive single blow to JapaneRe operatiom
in the Southwest Pacific Area up to that time Without the l a of a single
airplane, the 90th Bombardment Squadron (L) not only played a bemendous
part in the destrnction of the enemy force, but also conclnsively demmstrated
the value of the strafing and skipbombing technique which later became standard
attack nrocedure in the Rifth Air Force. Credit for the souadron's art in tbis

opposition, but also to the ground crews who kept the bombers in top condition
for comhat and the operations and intelligence personnel who planned the strikes
and briefed the crews. The achievements of the 90th Bmbardncat Squedron
(L) reflect great honor on the United States Army Air Forces. (General Orders
2042, Headquarters Far East Air Forces, 25 September 1945, as approved by
the Commauder in Chief, United States Army Forces, Pacific.)
6. The 895th Engineer ComDat Battalion (Rehforoed) is cited for outstanding
performnnce of duty in action against the enemy from 27 to 29 July 1M, at St L3.
France. Despite heavy enemy artillery fire, aerial bombardment, and strailng
this engineer task force constructed roads, bridges, and otherwise completed a
mute for vehieulor traffic through the completely demolished towa 'Die project
aeervsitnted the removal of large numbers of mines, booby traps, unexploded
bombs, and artillery shells which littered the nroposed route. Normal precau-
tions for disposing of these erploshes could not be tnlrerl because the highly criUcal
bottleneck had to he cleared rapidly. Throueb the heroic and untiring efPorts
of this battalion, reinforced by the 1st P1:rtoon of the 611th Engineer Light Equip
ment. Company, the historic St. Lo break-through wns made possible Approaching
the town, two men were killed while sweeping for mines, a ihird man was
killed by direct enemy artillery fire, and another injured. Bulldozers then went
in, but these were damaged by hostile artillery barmges. The battalion's maintenance
crews repaired the equipment on the spot, while injured operators yere
immediately replaced and the work continued. Direct hits on the completed road
and on the operating equipment further complicated the already ditticult task.
Men worked with little food for up to 36 hours without rest. Considerable electric
arc-welding was required on the dnmaged bridges across the Vire River rrnd
this had to be accomplished during the hours of darkness, which invariably
drew nnrmv flre. Despite enemy action by ailplanes and artillery, Ute task
wns performed without interruption and, at El5 on 29 July, the road Lhrough
the town was opened for vehicular traWe. The esprit de corps exhibited in
this mission by the 296th Engineer Cnnlbat Battalion (Reinforced) reflects
high honor on the participating personnel and is in keeping with the finest
traditions of the combnt engineers. (General Orders 612, Headquarters Saenth
Army, Western Military District, 9 November 1945, as approved by the Cammanding
Gencral, United States Army Forces, IGuropean Theater (Main).)
7. The 347th P4g"ighter @riroup (TE) is cited for outstanding performnnce of duty
in action on 7,20, and 22 November 1044. In November 194.4, when most American
air units were of necessity heing used in the rccouquest of the Philippine
Islands, the Japanese were developing great air and shipping strength in Ole
Makassar area of Celebes. Netherlands East Indies. The 347th Pighter Group
(TE) was given the assignment of attempting to destroy this strong Japnnese
position by mcans of ertreme-range fighter-bomber strikes. In order to reach
the target, the P-~38's of the gmup, then ba~ed on Iiildleburg Island ofE the CW8t
of Dutch New Guinea, would have to fly 935 mile to Uwkaiisar ?in a route still
dominated by the enemy, be prepared to engage in suslained combat at any

. -

point, and return to their base. On 7 Norember, thirteen P38 aircraft of the
group were dispatched on a mission to destroy eoemy air Dower in that area.
SO that substyuent strikes on encmy shipping could be acmmplishrd without
interference. Arriving over Mandai airdrome, the pilots of the 847th Fightn'
Group (TE) shot down 3 Japanese fighters, then proceeded to make a total of
63 strafing passes at airplanes on the ground and at airdrome installations.
They destroyed 13 tlghters arid 4 twin-engine bombers on the ground and probably
destroyed 3 additional fgihters and 2 bombers. Although their fuel arid ammunition
supply was running low, they attacked and destrmd a large hangar
before heading back to the island of Morotai. Having in one strike virtrlally
eliminated enemy air strength arormd Mnliassar, the group returncd on 20
Novenlber to attark a large concentration of Japanese shigping in the harbor.
Flying through a hail of inrcnse and accurate antiaireraft fire, the pilots of the
eight P38's made strafing runs on the vessels and succeeded in sinking five
freighters and a fuel barge and prababiy sinking three additional freighters and
a two-masted sailboat, besides setting flre to a freighter-transport and a gunboat.
As they finally retired fmm the area, because of a shortage of fuel and nmmunition,
they encountered and shot down one enemy fighter. Two days later twcntythree
P-38's of the group returned to Makassar to attark an enemy who this
timc.was fully anticipating their arrival. Arriving over Jlandai airdrome, they
destroged with a few strafing passes the aircraft that still remained on the strip.
Then. when a lal-e force of merchant vessels. mans of them armeri. and nrotected
hy a marship and six gunboats. was discovered in the harbor, the group
messed an attack. A withering barrage of antiaireraft fire brought down three
of the P-38'5, the first lost in this series of missions. In the furious battle that
ensued, the group sank a freighter-traneprl, a gunboat, a three-masted schooner,
and a seaplane at anchor; set fire to nine other merchant vessels; and caused
one merehnnt vessel to be beaclled. In these three strikes, this group so effectively
smashed enemy air and sen wwer at Makassxr that the Japanese never
recovered their strength in that area and were uunble, therefore, to harass
American forces moving into the Philippines. The superb airmanship and excep
tionnl courage of the P38 pilots of the S'litl,, h'iyhlcr Group (T8) and the skill
and dcvotiou to duty of the menlbers of the ground ectlelan who prepared both
airplanes and airmen for these Iring and difficult missions reflect great credjt on
the armed forces of the United States. (Gcneral Orders 2042, Headquarters Far
East Air Forces, 28 Septenlhrr 1945, as approved by the Commmder in Chief,
United States Army Forces, Pacific.)
8. The GS7th Tank Destroller Battalion is cited for outstanding performance
of duty in action from 8 February to 2 March 1945. at Manila. Luaorl. Philinnine . Islands. During this period the battalion aistinguished itself by a display of
fearless courage, aggressiveness, and remurcefulness in brilliantly accumnlishing
lnnllg varicd and difficult missions which required the complete and exhaustive
aprJlication of every man and weapon through extended and iintcnsivc combat.
AS ~neci~l Becurits fmce in an extremeig active area of approximately 8 square
miles, north of the Pasig River and east of Manila Bay, every wssible Inan was

nnximt~m effect, tank destroyer crrns often agproached to within 60 to 7: yards
of their targets, though nfforded vwy little proteetion from heavy enemy fire and
flying fragments of our own shells. Concurrently, elements of the battalion
rendered rlistinguishd service in reducing strong enemy positiuns at Fort McICinley
and Nichols Field, and assisted in the advance of the overland moyement to
the Lus Banos Internment Camp. Throughm~t the period cited, prodigious feats
of transporting huge quantities of amnlunition from dumps more than 100 miles
away, and nlalntaining all equinment -. at ~eak eficienc-r- despite inteneive use,
were accomplished only lhrlwgh the tireless efforts nnd unflagging application
of every ntrmber of the supply and maintenance section. The courage, aggressiveness,
and tireless devotionto duty dis~lwed by all personnel of the 657th Tank
Destroyer Bcftalim, which itself necounted for more than 460 enemy dead and
60 mnciline guns and artillery pieces drstroyml, contributed greatly to the success
achieved by our comhnt divisions in annihilating the defenders of hlanila, and are
in keeping with the highest traditions of thc armed forces of the United States.

9. Cornnu+%' I), 35th Infantry Regiment, is cited for outstanding performance
of duty in action against the enemy. On 12 A~rll 1345, Company D, 86th Imfant~y
Eegtnzat, reinforced by one platoon of Company B, was assigned the mission
of blocklng the north and east allBronches . - to the Putlan River Valley . against .
an agressire and numerically sullerior enemy force vhich was threatening
Hixlrway No. 5 and the right flank of the 25th Infantm Divisiou. Characterized
-
by hare ridges and a precipitous vegetation-choked ravine, the Putlan River
Valley area contains some of the most rugged terrain in t.he Caraballo Mountains
of northern Luzon. Fog and mist drastically limited visibility, and heavy rains
rendcred the road impassible. Sugplirs had to be manhandled for over a mile
up into the rough country near the hlock. Because of the size of the area to
be covered and its limited strength, even after reinlorcment, being only about
i45 men, Cumpaw D was disposed in three groups: the main body of the eom-
pnuy occupied a ridge in the center, with an outpost consistiug of a machine-gun
section and a terl-man rifle squad about 300 yards to the north, and an outpost
of similar strength on the summit of a small hill about a half mile to the south.
On the 12th and 13th April, the enemy mnde only light infiltration attacks, and
Balrolled to determine Company D's strength anrl disposition. Shortly after
dark on tile 14th, nftcr a 50-round mortar preparation, about a compnuy of the
enemy attacked. Cmnflany D'B main strongpoint and the northern outpost re-
ceived determined infiltration attacks, evidently designed to distract them while
the encmg coneentmted its forces in an effort to overwhelm the southeastern
outpo~t. Before the nttnek began the outpo8t's sound-gower telephone line was
cut, aud the only communicdtiun Nith the main body was by SCR radio, which
in order to transmit and receive had to be set up and operated in an exwed
position at the rrrr summit of tlir hill. Despite the fact that five enemy ma-
chine guns mere constantly sweeping the hilltop during attacks, and firing
intermittently between attacks, radio carnmunication was mairrtalnerl, and
81-rnrn mortar fire was called for and directed to within 15 ynrds of the
pel.ilIletir. Four all-out attaclm were mnde during the night. In true banzai
fashim, tlle attackers rushed the hill, advancing until they fell, showering hand
grenades on the perimCter 8S they approached. Between all-our attacks, the
position received spurndic mortnr and machine-gun five, while small infiltration
groups attempted to penetrate the gerirneter. Disregarding tlle heavy machine

Honor for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the riak of lle above and

the name of Congress to the foilowiog-named afficcr and enlisted man:
Major Horace 8. Carst~ell Jr.. 0389757. 308th Bombardment Group, Air Corps,
Army of the United States, piloted a 8-24 bomber in a one-airplane strike against
a Japanese convoy in the South China Sea on the night of 26 October 1%. Taking
the enemy force of 12 ships escorted by at least 2 drstroyers by surprise, he made
one bombing run at 600 feet, scoring a near miss on one warship and escaping
without drawmg tire. He circled and. fully realizing that the convoy was thoroughls
alerted and would meet his next attack with a barrage of antiaircraft
fire, began a second low-level run which culminated in two direct hits on a large
tanker. A hail of steel from Japanese guns riddled the bomber, knocking out two
engines, damaging a third, crippling the hydraulic system. puncturing one gasoline
tank, ripping uncounted holes in the aircraft, and wounding the copilot,
but by magnificent display of flying skill, Major Ca?swell controlled the airplane's
pluuge toward the sea and carefully forced it into a halting climb in the diree
tion of the China shore. On reaching land, where it would have been possible to
abandon the staggcring bomber, one of the crew discovered that his parachute
had been ripped by flak and rendered useless The pilot, hoping to cross mountainous
terrain and reach a base, continued onward until the third engine failed.
He ordered the crew to hall out while he struggled to maintaln altitude and,
refusing to save himself, chose to remain with his comrade and attempt a crash
landing. He died when the airplane struck a mountainside and burned. With
consummate gallantr~ and Intrepidity, hlajor Carswell gave his life in a supreme
effort to save all members of his crew. His sacrifice, far beyond that required
of him, was in keeping with the traditional bravery of America's war heroes.
Staff Sergeant Howard B. Woodford (Army serial No. 35397941), a battalion
intelligence sergeant with the 130th Infantry Regiment, Army of the United
States, volunteered to investigate the delay In a scheduled attack by an attached
guerrilla battalion near Tahio, I.uzon, Philippine Islands, on 6 June 1945. Reaching
the line of departure, he found that the lead company, in combat for the first
time, was immobilized by intense enemy mortar, machinegun, and rifle flre which
had caused casualties to key personnel. Knowing that further failure to advance
would endanger the flanks of adjacent units as well as delay capture of the objec
tive, he immediately tmk command of the company, evacuated the wounded, reorganized
the unit under Bre, and prepared to attack. He repeatedly exposed
himself to draw revealing fire from the Japancse strong points, and then moved

his other cumpallion withdrew carrying the injured man to safety. Alone,
Prirate HcEinnry was confronted by I0 infantrymen who had cnplured the
machine gun with the wident intent of rerersing it to fire into the perirneler.
Leaping iuto the erniilncement, he shot scren of them at point-blank mwe and
killed three more with his rifle butt. In the melee. the machine guu was
rendered inoperative leaving him only his rifle with which to meet the adrancing
Japanese who hurled grenades and directed knee mortar shells iuto the

3d Battalion, 15th Infontl-?, Regiment, is cited for outstanding perform-
*" in combat during the period S Y August 1.943 near San Fratello, Sicily.
ktaling steep mauntnius and slleer rock walls, the Sd Bntlnlios, eommandcd by
Lieutenant Colouei Ashtan H. Manhart, marched for 14 hours across deep gorges
and over mountain trails so precipitous that mules, bearing rations and arnmunition
were uilnhie to uegotinte the ascent and Cell hundreds of feet to the ravine
floor. Skirting two minefields, attacking, storming, and utterly disintegrating
a powerful Italian delaying force in an Bhour battle in the muuntaius,
the troorrs of the 3d Battalion continued their advance under a broiling . sun to
seize Hill 673, a dominating tcrrnin feature gunr+ing the Pnlermo~AIessina Highway.
Thc men of the ad Battalion held this hill position on short rations, with
water virtually unahlainnble, ammunition supplics at a low ebb, and the mule
pack trains subject io dwimation by the powerful enemy force surrounding them.
After weathering a 45-minute TOT-artillery concentration, these valiant soldiers
met and broke three successive counterarln&s delivered by one of the elite
regiments of the Italian Army reinforced with Wehrmacht cicments. -4s tlre

aircraft for this highly hnznrllons mission. On the morning of 10 November.
~ ~
thirty-three P-38 aircraft o1 the group took off from Wama Strip, hlorotai. Each
plane carried one 1000~ound annorqiereing bomb and one 30o-gallon belly tank.
Arriving over Ormoc Day early in the afternoon, the group cnme upon a large
Ja~rnnerie troop transport protected by two light cruisers and four destroyers.
Although eight aggressive enemy tighter airplmes made desperate attempts to
break up their formntion, and although the ships below sent up an intense harrage
uf antiaircraft fire which brought down three of the P-38's nud seriously
damaged another, the pilots of the IEtIl PigZte~. Group (38) completed their
bombing runs on Lhe transport and scored two direct hits, sinking the vessel nlmoat
immediately. In the action which foilowetl, the group sank a destroyer with
a direct hit, scored several damaging near-misses on the remaining destroyers
and the cruisers, and left one destroyer with its deck in flames. Engaging the
intercepting enemy lighters, two of the F-58's probably destroyed one and darnaged
another. The groug then flew to Tadoban Strip on Byte. The following
morning cight airplanes of the group took off from Taclobnn on a search of the
area in whieh the engagement of thc previons day had taken place. In the
vicinity of the Visnynri Sea, seven enemy figliters attacked the formntion, and in
the ensuing battle, two enemy airplanes aere shot down, one other was probably
destroyed, and the remainrler aere forced to flee. Attacked ahut 50 minutes
later by an overwhelming force of 40 to 50 enemy fighters, the ~ilots of the 18th
Fighter Group (TE), although outnumbered approximately 6 to 1, courageously
turned to engage the enemy, destroj.ei1 six af tl;e hostile fighters, and probahlr
three more, and forced the remaining Japanese ailplanes to rctire. One P-38
was missing in the encounter. On these 2 dam the 18tk F4ghter Group (TB)
not only struck n heavy blow at enemy naval strength in the Philippines but
aided matel'ially in prcventing the Japmme from bringiilg more troops against
our forces then engaged in the battle for Leyte. The superb daring and skillful
sirmxnshi~i of the nilots of the 18th Fiohter Grouv ('I'RI and the devotion to
duty dieplayed by the ground personnel exemrrlify tile highest traditions of the
United States Army Air Forces. (General Orders 2042, IIeedquarters Far East

the name of ConbTess to the following-named enlisted men:
Private Raulge .I. Peters (Am17 serial KO. 31297689), a ~lntoon rndio operator
with Company G, RMth Parachute Infnntry Regiment, .4rmy of the United States,
made a descent into Germany near Fluren, east of the Rhine, on 24 March 1915.
With 10 others, he landed in a field about 75 yards from a German machine gun
supported by riflemen and was immediately pinned down by heavy, direct flre.
The position of the small unit seemed hopeless, with men struggling to free
themselves of their parachutes in a hall of bullets which cut them off from their
nearby equipment bundles, when Private Petem stood up, without orders, and
began a one-man riiargengainst -. the hoslile emolacement armed only with a ~ i0e
and grenades. His single-handed assault Immediately drew the emmy fire away
from his comrades. He had run halfway lo his objective, pitting rifle fire against
that of the m:tchine gull, when he w%s struck and knocked to the ground by n
burst. Heroically, he regained his feet and struggled onward. Once more he
was torn by bullets and this time he was unable to rise. With gallant devotion
to his self-imposed mission, he crawled directly into the fire which had mortnlly
wounded him, until close enough to hurl grenades which knmked out the machine
gun, killed two of its oneratore. and drove orotectins riflemen from their nosi-
to reach their eQuipnlent, organize, and seize their Erst ohjrctive.
Private First Class Jose P. Valdez (Army serial No. 3835214133, Cornparty B,
7th Infantry Regiment, Army of the United States, was an outpast duty with
five others near Rosenkmmilz, France, on 25 January 1'245, when the enemy
eol1nterattackel vith overwhelming st~engtb. From his position nrnr Some
moods 500 yards beyond the American liim, he observed a hostile tank alrout
75 yards away and raked it wlth automatic rifle flre until it wilhdrew. Soon
afterward, he saw three Germans stealthily aprmaehing through the woods.
Scorning corer as the enemy soldiers anencd up with heayy automatic-~l'rilpons
fire from a range of 30 yards, hc engaged in a tire fight with the attaekcrs until
he had k'illed all three. The enemy quickly launched an attack with two Ml
companies of infantrymen, blasting the patrol with murderous concentmtwns
of nutomatic and rifie fire and beginnins an encitding movement which for&
the patrol leader to order a withdmnml. Despite the terrible odds, Private
Vddez immediately valuuteered to cover the maneuver, and, as the patrol, one
AGO 3063B-Web. 681720'-46

hY one, plunged through a hail of bullets toward the American lines, fired burst
after burst into the swarming enemy. Three of his companions were wounded
in their dash for safety and he was struck by a bullet which entere8 his
stomach and, passing through his body, emerged from his back. Overcoming
agonizing pain, he regained control of himself and resumed his firiug position,
delivering a protective screen of bullcts until aU others of the patrol werc
safe. By field telephoue, he called for artillery and mortar fire on the Ger-
mans and corrected the range until he had shells falling within 50 yards of
his position. For 15 minules he refused to be dislodged by more than 200
of the enemy, then seeing that the barrage had broken the counternllnck, he
dragged himself back to his own lines. He later died as a result of his wounds.
Through his valiant, intrepid stand and at the cost of his own life, Private
Valdez rnade it possible for his comrades to escaw and was directly responsible
for repulsing an attack by vastly supcrior enemy forccs.
II..MEDAZ OF HONOR.-By direction of the President, under the prorisions

encmy battalion which had hcld up the American admnce for 2 days from its
entrenched positions around a three-story concrcte building. With amlther
infantry eompang aud armored vehicles, Company E advnnced against heavy
machine-gvn and other automatic~wcapons fire with Lieutenant Nett swdrheading
the assault agninst the strong -. mint. During . tbe fierce hnnd-to-hand en-
Counter rhicb ensued, he killed seven deeply entrenehcd Japanese with his rifle
and bayonet and, although seriously woundcd, gallantly eontinucd to lead his
mcn forn-ard, refusing to relinquish his command. Again he was sevcrely
wounded, hut, still unwilling to retire, pressed alicad with his troolls to assure
the capture of the objective. Wounded once mare in thc final assault, he enlrnly
made all nrrangemcnts for thc resumption of the ad~ance, turncd over his command
to another uflieer, and then walked unaided to thc rear for medicnl

I..MEDAL OF HONOR.-By direction of the President, under rhe prorisions
of the act of Congress approved 9 July 1918 (WD Bul. 43, 191R), a JIedal ui
Eonor for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of life above and
beyond the call of duty was awarded po~gmously by the War Dwartment in
the name of Congress to the following-named ofticer and enlisted men:
Technical Sergeant Morris E. Cmin (Army serial Yo. 35728722), Companj- E,
141st Infantry IWgiment, Army offhe United States, led his platoon against
powerful German forces on 13 .\larch 1945 in Haguenan, France, during the strug-
gle to enlarge the brldgehend across the Moder River. With great daring and
aggressireness, he spearheaded the platoan in killing 10 enemy soldiers, capturing
12 more, and securing its objectire near an important road junction. Although
heavy concentrations of artillery, mortar, and self-prowlled gunfire raked the
area, he mwed about among his men during rhe day, exhorting tbem la great
efforts and encouraging them to stand firm. He carried ammunition and mnin-
tained contact with the company command post, exposing himself to deadly
enemy flre. At nightfall the enemy barrage beenme more intense and tanks
entered the fray to cover foot troops while they bombarded our positions with
grenades and rackets. As buildings were blasted by the Germans, the Americans
fell back from house to house. Sergeant Crain deployed another platoon, which
had been sent to his support; and then rushed through murderous tank and
small-arms fire to the foremost house which was being defended by flw of his
mcn. With the enemy attacking from an adjoining room and a tank firing point-
blank nt the house, he ordered the men to witharaw while he remained in the
face of almost certain death to hold the position. Although shells were erash-
ing through the walls and bullets were hitting all around him, he held his ground
and, with accurate fire from his submachine gun, killed three Germans. He was
killed when the building was destroyed by the enemy. Sergeant Crain'a out-
standing valor and intrepid leadership enabled his platoon lo organize a new
defense, repel the attack and preserve the hard-won bridgehebeild.
Staff Sergeant Amher T. Gammon (Army serial No. 33156658), a squad leader
with Comgany A, 9th Armored Infantry Battalion, Army of the United States,
on 11 January 1945, near Bnstogne, Belgium, charged 30 yards through hip-deep
6U0W to knock out a machine gun and its three-man crew with grenades, Snring
his platoan from being decimated and allowing it to continue its adrancefrom
an open fleld into some nearby woods. The platoon's advance through the woods
had only begun when a machine gun, supported by riflemen, opened fire aod a
Royal Tiger tank began sending 88~mm. shells screaming at the unit from the
left flank. Sergeant Gammon, disregerding all thought of personal safety, rushed
forward, then cut to the left, crossing the aidth of the plataon'sskirmish line in
an attempt to get within grenade range of the tank and its protecting foot troops.
Intense fire was concentrated an him by riflemen aud the machine gun emplaced
AGO 3091U-Feb. 881120'-48

ncar the tank. ,HP charged the automatic wenpan, wiped out its crew of four
with grenades, and, with supreme daring, advanced to within 26 yards of the
armored vehicle, Killing two hostile infantrymen with rifle fire as he moved foryard.
Thc tank had started to withdraw, barking a short distance, then firing,
backing some more, and then stopping to blast out another round, when the man
whose single-handed, relentless attaek had put the ponderous machine on the
defensive was struck and instantly killed hy a direct hit from the Royal Tiger's
heavy gun. -By his intrepidity and extreme demtion to the task of driving the
enemy back, no matter what the odds, Sergeant Gnmmon eleared the wands of
German forces, for the tank continued to withdraw, leaving open the path for
the grrllant squxl lender's platoon.
Private Rirst Class Anthong L. Krotiak (Army serial No. 30300223), an acting
squad leader wlih Company I. 148th Infantry Rcgirnent, Army of the United
States, during an attaek in Baletc Pass, Luarm, Philippine Irlonds, on ,8 Milay
1945, was direct in^ . his men in cunsalidatine - a ncwlv won nosition on Hill B v~hell
the enemy conccntratcd small-alms fire and g~wades upon him and four othrrs,
driring them to cover in an abandoned Janar~ese trench. A grcnnde thrown
from above landcd in the center of the group. Instantly pushing his commdes
aside and jnmming the grenade into the earth with his rifle butt, he threw himself
over it, mnlring a shield of his body to protect the other men. The gennde
exploded undcr him nod he died a fern minutes later. By his extraordinary
heroism in deliberately gi~ing his life to save those of his commdes, Private
Jirotiak set an inspiring example of utter devotion and self-sacrifice which reflects
the highest tmditions of the military servier.
Second Lieutennnt Haw?) J. Xichael, 0929268, Company L, 31Ytll Infantry Regiment,
Army of the United States, was serving as 2. rifle platoon leader when
Comp1~11y L began nn assault on a wooded ridge northerrfit of the rillage of
Xeidcrzerf, Germany, early on 14 March 1045. A short distance up the side of
the hill. Lieutenant Hiofinel, at thc heed of his platoon, heard the click of nn
ellems machinc~gun bolt. Quietly halting thc company. he silently moved into
the Woods and discovered twu enemy machine guns and crews. Executing a
sudden charge, he completely surprised the enemy and captured the guns and
crew. At daybreak, enemy voices were beard in the thick woods ahead. Leading
him p1ato0tI in a flanking movement, they charged tho enemy with hand grenades
and, after n bitter fight, captured 25 members of an SS mountain division, 3 nrtillery
pieces, and 20 horses. While his company was establishing its position,
Lieutenant Michael made two ~e~sonal. reconnaissances of the woods on his left
flank. On the first mission, he killed two, wounded four, and captured slx enemy
soldiers single-handedly. On the second mission, he captured seven prisoners.
During rhe afternoon, he led his platoon in a frontal assault of a line of enemy
pillboxes, successfully enpturing the objective, killing 10 and capruring 30 prisoners.
The folloming morning, the conqnny was subjected to sniper fire and Lieutenant
Michael, in an attempt to find the hidden sniper, was shot and irilled.
The inspiring leadership and heroic aggressiveness displayed by Lieutenant
Michael uphold the highest traditions of the military service.
Technician Fifth Grade Powest E. Pedm (Army serial No. 37503529). Battery
C, 10th Field Artillcry Battalion, Army of the United States, was a forward artillery
observer near Biesheim, France, on 3 Fehruory 1946, when the group of
about 48 infantrymen, with whom he was advancing, was ambushed in the uncertain
light of a waning moon. Enemy forces outnumbering the Americans by four
to one poured withering artillcry, mortur, machine-gun, and smali-arms fire into
AGO 3001B

the stricken unit from the flanks, forcing our men to seek the cover of a ditch
which they found already occupied by enemy foot troops. As the opposing
infnntrymen struggled in hand-to-hand combat, Corporal Peden courageously ,
Oent to the assistance of two woonded soldiers and rendered first aid under heavy
fire. With radio communications mogeratire, he renlized that the unit would he
wiped out unless help could he secured from the rear. On his own initiative,
hc ran 500 yards to the hattnlion command post through a hnil of bullets, which
pierced his jacket, and there secured two light tanks to go to the relief of his
hard-prcssed comrades. Knowing th? terrible risk iilrolvcd, he climbed upon the
hull of the lead tank and guided it intc bxttle. Through a murderous cooeentration
of fire, the tank lumbered onward, bullets and shell fragments ricocheting
from its steel armor within inches of the complctcly esposerl rider, until it
renc:hed the ditch. As it was about to go into netion, it was turned into n flaming
- -~ wre by a direct hit which killed Ccrgoral Peden. However, his intre~idity
and g&'t sacrifice mere not in vhin. dttrnctcd by the light from thc hGning

enemy in superior numbers arid oceupyi~g strong defensive positions. The
action is an outstznding example of grow daring and courage. The extraordinary
~ -
heroism, exemplary skill, inspiring resourcefulness, and superior initiative displayed
in this erueinl ope ratio^ refleet the highest credit on the officers and men
of Company P, 137th Infantry Begiment, and oo the military service of the United
States. (General Orders 60. Headquarters 35th Infantry Division, 19 November
1945. as approved by the commanding General, United States arm^ Forces,
European Theater (Main) .)
3. The Shore Battalion, 598d Enginerr Roat and Shore Regiment, is cited for
outstanding performance of duty in netion against the enemy in the Admiralty
Islands from 2 to 6 March 1944. On 2 March 1944, this battalion Landed on
Whitc Bench, Los Negrof Island, as an element of the task force. Its mission
was entirely an engineering project which consisted of clearing the beach, bullding
ramps out to amyhibiuus craft, constructing a beach road net, developing
beach dumps, and, with attached units, unloading troops, equipment, and supplies.
Within 30 minutes after lauding and while still in the process of organizing
the beachhead, the heach was subjected to enemy motar and suiper
fire which continued spasmodically throughout the day. Despite numerous casunlties.
hernuse of Little or' no cover, this unit carried on with courageous determination
and complete disregard of danger to accorrtplish its missicm. Only
AGO 30960

after aU craft had retracted and darkness caused woe to stw on the WdI
did this unit retire, and then not to rest but to take up defensive positio~ on
the west Bank of the task force perimeter. The positions had hardly been
taken when the enemy began a series of iuffltration and "Banzai" attacks,
directed agalnst the west Bank of the perimeter, which lasted throughout the
night. Amid considerable confusion, because of the lack of infantry trainin&
with many troops seeing action for the Brat time, the o5cers and men of the
Shore Battalh met every advance of the enemy with such determination, tenac
ity, and courage that the enemy was driven off on every occasion with heaw
casnalties. Enemy infiltration was particularly prevalent and hand-to-hand
combat with hives and bayonets was evident everywhere. When the enemy
action ceased at dawn. the battalion returned to its task on the beach, where it
worked until night, returning then to the perimeter positions. During the night
the attacks were renewed, but with the same intrepidity and valor the attacks
were repulsed. The following day, when the infantry waa held up by impassable
terrain, the uuit went out beyond the front lines to build made in the face Of
snlper Bre so that infantry and artillery force could be brought to bear on
'the enemy. Although working every day on the beach bringing in vital supplleu
and equipment, this unit returned every night to positions on the perimeter to
5ght the enemy. The unusual devotion to duty, grim determination, battle
dlsclpline, and conspicuous gallantry df the officers and men of the Shore Battalion,
59Ed Engineer Boat and Shore Regiment, had a stimulating effect on all
troops of the task force and reflect the highest credit on the United States
Amy. (General Orders 175, Readquartera Sixth Army, 26 August 1845, as ap
proved by the Commander in Chief. Cnited States Army Forces, Paclflc.)

of his clothing and glanced off his helmet. He threw his last grenade into the
machinegun nest and stumbled on to Wipe out the crew. He had completed this
self-nppoiuted task when a machine pistol burst killed him Instantly. In his
spectacular one-man atta*, Private Idelre71 killed li Germans in the first machine
gun emplacement, 7 in the next, and an additional 10 infantrymen who were
astride his path to the weapons which would have decimated hi unit had he not
assumed the burden of the assault, and stormed the enemy positions with utter
fearlessness, iutrepidity of tho highest order, and a williogness to sacrifice his
own life so that his comrades could go on to victory.
Private First Class Edzeard J. Xou!mla (Army serial No. 36015463), was wilh
the leading element of Company C, 383d Infantry Regiment, Army of the United
States, on 9 April 1045, when grenade esplosions and concentrated machine-gun
and mortar fire halted the nnit's attack on Kaknzu Ridge, Okinawa, Ryukyu
Islands. With utter disregard for his personal safety, he charged 40 yards
through withering, grazing fire and wiped out two machine-gun nests with weilaimed
grenades and deadly accurate fire from his automatic rifle. When strong
counterattacks and fierce enemy resistance from other positions forced his company
to withdraw, he voluntarily remained behind with eight others to cover
the maneuver. Righting from a critienlly dangerous position for 3 hours, he
killed more than 25 Japanese before following his surviving eompanions thsouglr
screening smoke down the face of the ridge to a gorge where It was diacovered
that one of the group had been left bchind, wounded. Unhcsitalingly, Pri\-ate
Moskala climbed the hullet-swept slope to assist in the rescue and, returning to
lower ground, volunteered to protect other wounded while the bulk of the troops
qulelrly took up more favorable positions. He had saved another casualty
and killed four enemy infiltrators when he was struck and mortally wo~mded
himself while aiding still another disnbled soldier. With gallant initiative, unfnltering
courage, and heroic determination to destroy the enemy, Private Moalcala
gave his life in his complete devotion to his company's mission and his comrades'
well-being. His intrcpid conduct grovided a lasting inspiralion for thosewith
whom he served.
Private First Class l+"deriek 0. Idarp71v (Army serial No. 314'6845). an aid
man with Cam~any E, 259th Infantry Regiment, Army of the Unitcd States, was
wounded in the right - shoulder soon after his comrades had imnued off in a dawn
attack, 18 March 1945, against the Sicxfried Line rtt Saarlautern, Germany. IIe
refused to withdraw for treatment arid continued forward, ndmimisteriuf first aid
under heavy machine-gun, mortar, and artillery fire. When the company ran
into a thiclils sewn antipersonnel mine field and began to suffer more and more
casualties. he coutinued to dirrcaard - his own wound and unhesitatimlv -. braved
the danger of exploding mines, moving about through heavy fire and helping the
injured until he stepped on a mine which eevered one of his feet. Dcspitr his
gricvous wounds, he struggled on with his work, rcfusing to be evacuated and
crawling from man to mall administering to the,+ while in great gain and blccding
profusely. He was killed by the blast of another mine which he had dr:igged
himself across in an effort to rcaeh still another casualty. With indomitable
courage, un~uenchahle spirit of self-sacrifice, and sugreme deroliou to duty which
made It possible for him to contimie performing his tasks while barely able to
move, Privateizrrphy saved many of his fcllow soldiers at the cost of his arrn life.
Private First Class Walter 0. Tetnel (Army serial No. 38122664), an acling
squad lender with the Antitank Company, 13th Infantry Regiment, Army of the
United States, was guarding his platoon's command post in n house at Rirken,
Germany, during the early rnmning hours of 3 April 1945 whcn he delecled
AGO aioin

strong enemy forces moving in to attack. He ran into the house, alerted the
owupants, and immediately began defending the post against heavy automatic
weapons fire coming from the hostile troops. Under cover of darkness, the Germans
forced their way close to the building where they hurled grenades, two of
which landed in the room where Private Wetael and others had taken up flring
gositions. Shouting a warning to his fellow soldiers, Private Wet& threw
llims~lf an the grenadcs and, as they exploded, absorbed their entire blast, suffering
wounds from which he died. The supreme gallautry of Private Wetzel
sarcd hls comrades from death or serious injury and made it possible for them
to continue the defense of the command post and break the Dower of a dangerous
loenl counterthrust by the enemy. Private Wetsel's unhesitating sacrifice of his
life was in keepiug with the United States Army's highest traditions of bravery
and heroism.

of the act of Congress approved 9 July 1918 (WD Bul. 43, 191S), a Medal of
Honor for conspicuous gallantry and intr~oidits . . at the risk of life above and
heyond the call of duty was awarded psthumollsly by the War Department in
the name of Congress to the following-naGd o5c& and enlisted man:
Brigadier Gmerxl Frederick W. Costle, 0319376. Commanding Gcneral of the
4th Bombardment Ting, Eighth Air Force, Army of the United States, was air
commander and leader of more than 2.000 heavv bombers in a strike xcxinst -
German airfields on 24 December 1844. En route to the target, the failure of one
engine forced him to relinqoish his place at the head of the formation. In order
not to endanger friendly troops onthe ground bclow, he refused to jettison his
bombs to gain speed and mnneurerability. Ais lagging, unescorted aircraft
became the target of numerous enemy lighters which ripped the left wing with
cannon shells, set the oxygen system afire, and mounded two mcmhers of the
crew. Repeated attacks started fires in two engines, leaving the flying fortress
in imminent danger of exploding. Realizing the haplessness of the situation,
the bnil-out order was given. Without regard for his personal safety, he gnllantly
remained alone at the controls to afford all other crew members an opportunity
to escape. Still another attack exploded gnsoliue tanks in the right wing
and the bomber plunged earthward, carrying General Castle to his death. His
intrepidity and willing sacrsce of his life to save members of the crew were in
keeping with the highest traditions of the military service.
Private First Class Ckarles N. DeGZopner (Army scrial No. 32581337), was n
member of Company C, 326th Glider Infantry Regiment, Army of the United
States, on 9 June 1944, advancing with the forward platoon to secure a bridgehead
across the Merderet Rirer at la Fiere, France. At dawn, the platoon had
uenetrated an outer line of machine mns - and riflemen, but in doing - so had
become cut off from the rest of the company. Vastly superior forcea began a
systematic decimntlon of the stricken unit, and put in molion a flanking maneuver
which would have completely exposed the American platoon in a shallow loadside
ditch where it had taken cover. Detecting thm danger, Private UeGlopper
rolunteered to 6UDDOIt -. his comrades br flre from his automatic rifle while the7
attempted a withdrawal Urrough a bLak in a hedgerow 40 yards to thc rear.
Scorning n conccntrntioo of enemy automatic-wexuons and rifle fire, he wulkea
from the ditch onto the road in full view of rhe Germans and sprnyed the hostile
positions with aasnult 6'e. He mas wounded, but he continued firing. Struck-

could not be broltcn. Knccling in the ruadwny, wcalrcned by his grielwns wounds,
lie le~eled his heavy weapon ngainst the enemy and fired burst after burst until
killed outright. He was successful in draming the enemy action away from his
fellow soldiers, who continued the fight from a more adrantageous position, and
estnblished the first bridgehead ove~ the Mcrderet. In the area where he made
his intrepid stand, his comrades later found the ground strewn with dcad Germnrm
and marly machine guns i~nd nutonratic wenpons which he had knocked out
of action. Prirxte Dcffionper's gallant sacrifice and unflinching heroism wllile
facing. insur~nountnble odds were in great measure responsible for a highly
important tactical victory in the Xarmnndy campaign.

19421. . . citations of the followine - units in the - eeneral orders indicated are confirmed
uniler the provisions of section IV, mD Circula~"333, 1043, in the name
of the President of tlie United States as public_$*6ek of deserved honor and
distinction. The citations read as follow^^^, ,
1. The 1st Battalion, Sl4th Infantry Re ent, is cited for outstanding performance
of duty in action during the period i and 8 July 1044 in France. This
battalion was assigned the important mission of assaulting and capturing the
strongly fortified city of La Hnye du Puits. Located at the junction of two
arterial highways, the city was a vltal point in the break-out plans of Allied
forces from Normandy to the south. Although the city was protected by a chain
of well-huiit and carefully Concealed machine-gun nests and other formidable
AGO 3203B

defenses, the 1st BattaNon advanced through a heavy concentration of artillery
and mortar fire and across dense minefields to iaunrh the attack. The battalion
suffered heavy losses, including many key leaders, but by nightfall, it suecessfully
occupied strategic positions along the outskirts of the town. On 8 July
1944, the 1st Battalion renewed its vigorous attack while again subjected to
shelling and withering machine-gun fire. Displaying an indomitable fighting
spirit and tenncious afigressiveness, the battalion drove into the city and forced
the defenders to abandon their positions. Although greatly weakened by severe
losscs, the battalion, undaunted and with undiminished courage, pursued the
retreating enemy relentlessly, engaged them in vicious hand-to-haud fighting, and
drove them from the city. The grim determination and courageous actions of
the pcrsollllel of the 1st Botlulion, 514th Infantry Regimeat, in the pressing and
vigorous attack against n stubborn enemy secured a vital commuuieations center
for the subsequent advance of the Allies and reflect grcat crcdit on themselves
and military service. (General Orders 107, Headquarters 79th Infantry Division,
14 December 1944, as approved by the Commanding General, United
Stntcs Army Forces, Eura~ean Theater (Main).)
2. The lalst Ens~neer iambat Battalzon is cited for gallantry and outstanding
performance of duty in action against the enemy on 6 June 1944 On that date,
the battalion participated, with assaulting infantly, in the attack of a fortifled
beach of northern Francc under most hazardous and dlffrcuit conditions. Beginning
its landing with the leading elements of assnuiting infantry, in the fam
of withering enemy fire, all companies of the battalion were landed early in the
day while the beach was still under heavx observed fire of artillery and small
and preparing beach lanes aud n beach-exit with dispatch and cool effiiiency.
The outstanding wrformance of duty by this battalion wns n substantial con-
tribution to the success of the assault operation. The Courage, teamwork, agggres-
siveness, and high esprit displayed by all of its personnel, and the excellent
results accomplished, reflect the highest crcdit on thc military forces of the
United States. (Gencml Orders a, Headquarters 20th Infantry Division, 28
July 1914, as npprwed lly the Conlmnndiug Gcncral, First United States Army.)

proaches and the work was continued, despite harassing machine-gun, mortar.

undcr the Proviaions of ~ection IV. WD Cin'ular 333, 1943, in the name of tho
President of the United States ns publie evidence of deserved honor and
disrinction. The citations read as folloms:
1. Company F, 18th Znfonlry Regiment, is cited for outstanding pedormance
of duty in action. On the night of 1 February 1945, Company F, 18th lrifnntly
Regiment, was assigned the mission of capturing hostile Siegf:.icd Line positions
and the town of Ramschic& Germany. Lack of time mwde advance rwounalssance
impossible, and heavy equipment and delnoliljon charges ncccssnry
for the attack were not nvailable. Eegpr to schicve surprise, Comprcn!, F
attacked withou~ artillery preparation at 0400, 2 Febroax.y, anrl'cut im way
throug-h wire ent;rllglcments and the dragon's teeth, enwunterinz a treacllerous
area heavily booby-trapued and rarefully mined. When leading men, lacking
mine delectors, were n.oimded or killed hy mines or booby Iraps, others passed
the casualtips nrld took the lend until they too were strn~k down, thus making
a narrow lane of safety toward the first pilibox. Aierted by the movement
through the mine field, the enemy snbjccted the advancing eornyany to iatcnse
srnall~arms fire, but Company F returned the fire and resolutely proceeded tornard
the Brat inst;llliltion and eompellcd tllc enemy to abandon open ernplacrnlents and
to close pillbox apertures. Then, leaving a fcw rum to keep the first instalktion
under fire and thus prevent the enemy's escape, tile company awiftly advanced
to the nest Pillbox. Hostile resistance increased steadily when the enemy
PerreivPd the glan and attemptwl to halt the ndvanw, but Company P pushed
forward and surrounded the enemy In pillbox after pillbox until nine hacl been
invested. At dawn, company machine guns were strategically emplaced to cover
the pillboxes nnd to guard against possible counterattacks. As one Company F
group began the task op capturing the nine surrounded pillboxes, another group
thrust into Ilamscheid and established itself there. Tanks and lank destroyers
could not be brought up to the pillbox area bccause of the thick mine field The
AGO 33503

companies on either flank of Company F had been pinned down, their advance
halted. Pillboxes on the ~ector to the right made it imwssible for anyone to enter
or leave the area. In addition, there were no TNT charges available. White
phosphorous grenades fired into the doorways of the first pillbox forced its surrender
and occupants of the second were talked into capilulating. The key
Point of the enemy defenses was a large observation and command post pillbox,
an emplacement possessing a steel turret with six porlholes and a periacope,
which continued to operate its two machine guns on our troops. After unsuccesSfully
attempting to talk the enemy into surrendering, occupants were hued
an ultimatum to surrender within 30 minutes or be blown out by dynamite. In
the interim, Company F infantrymen directed henvy flre a1 this position, destroying
the periscow and knocking out a machine gun by aiming at the Bash hider
and muzzle. Simultaneously, Company F struck and tamped the sides of the emplacement,
simulatillg the planting of dynamite charges. Prior to expiration of
the designated period, the illb box personnel surrendered. In this manner, by
threats and heavy small-arms fire, the other six pillboxes were aggressively taken
and held without assistance thronghout the day. Enemy pillboxes in neighboring
Sectors directed incessant artillery, mortar, machine-gun, and direct tank fire
on thc bare hill held by Cornpa~y F, but the intrepid infantrymen firmly held
the pillboxes. Company personnel in Ramschcid repulsed three counterattacks
by an enemy force of undetermined sine, each time inflicting severe losses on the
enemy, and hcld newly won positions until late in the afternoon when friendly
tanks reinforced Com#nny 3' after engineers blew a gap in the tank obstacIes.
Utilizing only infantry wcapons, the company, with extreme courage, successfully
assaulted concrete and steel emplacement, breached the Siegfried Line, and enabled
othm units to get behind the wwerful fortitications and Lo attack from
the rear rathcr than by costly frontnl assaults. The indomitable snirit, extraordinal?
heroism, and unswerving dcvotion to duty of Comgany F, 181b infontr?,
Regiment, wtlrsonnel resulted in the capture of 77 Germans, seizure of 9 lnnnned
pillboxes, and occupation of Ramscheiii, Germany. (General Orders 351, &MIquarleru
United States Army Forccs. European Theater, 27 December 1945, as
approred by the Commnnding General, Cnited States Army Forccs, European
Tlloater (Main) .)
2. The 40th Bombardment Group (VH) is cited for outstanding performance
of duty in armed confiict with the enemy. During the periild 5 to 14 May 1945,
this group conducted threc maximum effort strikes against vitally important
targets on the Japanese mainland. Har.ing only recently arrived at their new
base in the Marianas and handicapped by a shortage of personnel and lack of
adequate facilities, the ground crews, nevertidess, worked tirelessly and effectively
in order to provide a maximmm number of operational aircraft for each
mission. On 5 May 1945, the couragcous crews of the 40th Bombardment Group
(VE) braving the iutcuve antiairwaft lire whidl protected the irnportlnt naval
cenler of Kuve, Japan, dropped their loads of high eexplasive on the Hiro rlaval
aircraft factory. Over 70 percent of this high priority target, producing both
aircraft engines and franles for the Japanese war machine. was destroyed.
Strik'ing again with unerring accuracy on 10 &Say 1945, this outstanding group
contributed greatly to the destruction of 90 percent 01 the Oshin~a oil storage
facilities, one of Japan's largest instailntiorrs of the kind. Continuing to demonstrate
a remarkable ability to recover Prom battle damage and frorn the fatiguing
effect of the long and i~waardous ovenvntrr flights, the crews of the 400th Bombbard?nent
Group (T'U) on 14 May 1945 participated in a major daylight attack
AGO 3350B

upon thc industrial area of Napova, . - bringing - - to 9.2 sauare miles the total area
devastated in that highly industrialized city, the center of the Japanese aircraft
industry. These three dorinp - davlizht .- missions were eoriducted without the Droteetion
of fighter escort against targets heavily defended by enemy flak and
figllters. Flying through dangerous tropical weather conditions over great ex-
Panse8 Of trackless ocean, the intrepid Crews demonstrated repeatedly their eonspicuous
courngc, Professional skiil, and devotion to duty. The combined arhievemerits
of these crews and of the ground personnel of the 40th Baw~bardment
Group (VH) reflect great honor on tbernnelves and the armed forces of the
United States. (General Orders r3, Headquartera Twentieth Air Fore, 23
January 184G.)
3. The 108th Engineer Combat Baltalion is cited for outstanding performance
of dl~ty in action against tlie enemy in Northern Luzon, Philippine Islands, from
19 H'cbrnary to I Hag 1915. Question Mark Hill and Bench Mark Hill, vital
noiuls camman;ling the Pozzorubbiu-Rosnrio Highway, taken by our infantry
after fierce lighting and heavy casualties, were in imminent danger of being lost
because of the extreme difficulty of supply. Engineer troops, working under
enemy artillery, mortar, and small-arms fire, supplied the infantry wilb water
by hand carry over a 7-hour long, torfuous n~ouotnin trail and constructed n
supply road rising 800 Ieet in 11 distance of 2 miles over narrow hogback ridges
that dropped precipiiollsly 300 to feet at many places. To support a wide
envelanment. another 3-mile road was nushed under cnernv lire from Alibmz
to Hill 1802, an elevation of 1,600 fcct. In the next phase of the campaign, con-
8tanll~ harrassd bv enemy infiltration attacks by -. deht and artillers and sniuer
tire by day, a 10-mile supply road was built from Rosario to Pnw. Working in
advance of the infarllry, the bridges of the Agoo-Pngo Road were opened and
mine fields removcd, enabling thc infantry to make a surprise advnuce in force
from positions many miles to the rear. To snpport one prong of the attack on
Eaguio, a road was necessary from Pugo to Tum. Althollgh advised by higher
headquarters that road eanstnlction over the mountains in that area was impossible,
engineer reconnaissrrnce patrols were operated deep into enemy territory.
R road surveyed and ~ushed to an elevation of 4,400 feet in a. distance of 8 miles,
despite numerous enemy suicide lratrol attacks to destroy road building equipment
Xmnwhilc, to support the allrance toward Baguio along ihe coastal
roule, engineers cleared the road and repaired the bridges north of Aringay.
Uuder cover of durlmess and while the intanlry enveloped the town of Bauang
from the west, an engineer detnchment rrmorrd enemy demolitions from two
640-foot spans across the Banarlg River and seined and held the bridges against
enemy resistance. The division front was now extended from San Fernando
to Sau Manuel, a distance of 65 miles. Tu prevent an cnelny salient, our troops
had to be moved from Caba to Gnlianu under observation of the erwmy holding
the Nagnilian Road and Hiibil Mountain to the north. Despite almost nightly
enemy ntraeks, the 13 miles of road were constructed in 15 dops over the most
difficult tcrrain. Meanwhile, otllcr elements of the 108th Engineer Combat
Eattalion in a move to opcn up the tortuous and canalized Kennor, Road, against
determined and continuous enemy resisi.ance and frequently without any Irieadly
infnnlry support, destroyed enemy slrong puinls commanding miue fields, removed
the mines, and repaired brillgrs mder cover of sopwrting fires p~~vidcd by
themselves. These and the many other roads built and repaired by the 708th
EnQineer Combat BottaI.5oon were vital sum~ly roads capable of sustaining division
loads and enabling the supply and evacuation incident to an operation uf rein.
AGO 3350B

forced division. While contributing so enormously to the wlnning of the battle
of supply, the engineers continued to perhm other engineer functions, whlch
were complicated and increased because of the great length of division front and
rapidity of admnce. Theoutstanding performance of duty nnd the bold, vigorous,
and aggressive action displayed by the personnel of the 108th I3nginew Combat
Battalion, in the face of seemingly insurmountable diflieulties, presented an
inspirillg cxample to other units of the dirtsinn, erempliflcd their deep devnticm to
duty, and are in keeping with the highest traditions of the Corps of Engineers
and the United States Army. (General Orders 316, Headquarters 33d Infantry
Division. 21 October 1H5, as approved by the Cowmnrider in Chief, United States
Army Forces. Pacific)
4. The 444th Bombardment Group (VH) is cited for ouistaoding performance
of duty in armed Mnflict with the enemy. During the period 10-14 Map 1%3,
thh group bombed three strategically important snd heavily defended enemy
installations with conspicuously successful results. which materially cantributcd
to the destruction of 3apan's productive power and ability to continue the mar.
Almost imrnctliwtely after arriving at its new irase in the Marianas, the 444th
Bontbardntent Group (VH) was called upon to jlnrticipnte in a series or mnximum
effort strikes against the .Japanese Empire. Wurlring tirelessly and cffrctively
despite the dual handicap of incdequate personnel and facilities, tho
ground crews provided a maxinmm nnmber of ailcraft in the best mechanical
condition for each mission. On 10 Xav 1915, the irnrrorlnnt Oshima oil srorage
instnllation at Oshima, Japan, was virtually destroyed, denying to the Japanrse
an estimated 2,000,000 barrels of criticn! oil storage capacity. Within 24 ho:irs,
on 11 %lay 1945, 4f? pcrcent of the Iiarvonishi aircraft plant near Kobe, Japan,
was bombed to rubble by nin:roft of this same group. Uarnonstmting a remarkable
ability to maintain a rnpid pnce of opwations, the e

apiditg with wllich these misslons were conducted the crew8 exhibited an
uuwavering s~irit of willin,~ess to perform their tasks. On all missions, they
brarcd intense and accurate antiaircraft fire. More than 75 aggressive enemy
fighters were encountered by aircrilft of the 4FZd RomdarU?nent Woup (YE)
on these three missions, but the gallant crews pressed on to thcir targets, destroying
15 of the attacking aircraft and irobably destroying 3. During this
momentrms period, the ground personnel worked steadily throughout the day
and night, determined to get a maximum number of their nircraft in the hest
possible mechanical condition for each of these three missions. Their conspicuous
effort, together rvith the hirh skill and deierminatiun of the gallant air
crews, reflect great credit on the 462d Bonibardn~cnt Group (VLT) and the armed
forces of ihe United Slates. (General Orders 13, Headquarters Twentieth Air
Force, 23 Tannary 1946.)
6. The /Ma Bombal,dment Group (VH) is cited for outstanding performance
of duty in action against the enemy in connection with daylight precision bombing
of the Kawanishi aircraft plant at Takarazuka on 24 July 1015. As nab
of an all-out effort to smash Japanese niruraft p~miiiction, the OiiPd Uombardmmt
Croz~p (FE) and one other group from the 58th Bo~nbardroent Vin, " were
given the assignment of destroying the ICawanishi aircraft faciory, which manufactured
components of a dangerous Japanese navy fighter airplane. As the result
of unremitting efforts of the ground personnel, this grou~ put 42 nivlanes in the
air for this important raid, clesnite the fact that 7 previous missinns had been
run during July and msintcnance dcmarids had been unusually high. Because
a total oi more than GO0 Ar:erican niililanes were operating over Jamin that
day. the enemy defcnders Were especially alert and the 4GSd BomDardment Group
(Vn) ran into a hail of antiaircraft fire at Kobe and Osaka on its way to the
target area. The fire was 80 intense that 28 aircraft of this group were hit by
enemy flak, but continued undaunted on their bomblng run. Before retiring from
the deadly area, the group dropped 205 tons of explosi~cs on the Kawanishi plant.
Subseqnent photogmphs revealed that the aircraft factory had Wen 85 percent
deatroyed, thus mai.eria11y reducing the Japanese wwer. The professional skill
of the 662d Bombardment ffroua . (VH). . in the heat of the batne and in the face
of the bitterest opposition, and the inyielding determination with which it
~allantly . carried out its missions are outstandinc - eramDle,les of leadership, esprit
de corps, and tenacity of plirpose and reflect the highest credit on the group and
the Army Air Forces. (General Orders 135, Headquarters Twentieth Air Force,
24 December 1D45.)
7. The 4GSth Hombardnrat Group (YE) is cited for outstanding performance
of duty in armed conflict with the enemy. During the period 25-29 Msy 1945,
the destruction of the mililarily important industrial areas of Tokyo and
Pakohnrua was completed, despite the fierce enemy antiaircraft fire from these
most henvily defended points of the Japanese mainland. On 23 and 215 May
1945, the heroic efforts of all personnel of the 46'8th Bomimrdment Ch-oup (VII)
contributed materially to the aeatruction of an additional 22.1 square miles of
vital industrial area in Tokyo, bringing to 56.3 square miles the total area
devnstatcd within that city, the center of Japan's war industry. Before the
Japanese bad time to recovcr from this staggering blow to their morale and war
potential, this group participated in a daring daylight strike on 29 May 1945
against the city of Yokohama, a single attack in great force, which redumd to
rubble 6.9 square miles of the city's most impurtnnt industrial area. The success
of this series of mtssions, Bown as they were in rapid succession and orer vast
AGO 3350B

expanses af open sea, despite dxngerous tropical weather conditions and intense
enemy op~ositiun, is a reflection of the exemplary dcvotion to duty demonstrated
by the ground personnel and of the greal prufessional skill, tenacity, and courage
of the air crews. The achicrerneutn of the 4GSth Bombardment Croup (Vn)
during this period of susleined effort rcflcct great honor on themselves and the
armed forces of the United States. (General Orders 13, Deadquarters Twentieth
Air Force, 23 Jannary 191fl.)

1. The 426 PWd drtillw?r Battalion is cited for ontstanding pcrlormance of
duty in acticn during the Gwman counieroffii?slv

mom, generally, under srve1.e eneuy s;u!~il-arms and mortar fire. Bridge construction
and repair was carried on, soruelimes at night undcr sniper fire and
threats of infiltration. Usoally, no& crews defmded themsclvcs witiiont asking
aid from Lhe infantry. Work was performed cuntinuausly for periods as great
as 72 hours withuut relief, in order thai supply and tactical vehicles might Iireep
up with the rnpid advance of the infantry. Armored bnlldomrs, under direct
smsll-arms and mortar fire rmd despite the suicidal tltternpts by the enemy to
destroy them with hnnd-p1ncc.d ri::irges, assaulted fortsed positions in advance
of the infantry and assisted materially in the destruction of slriing enenly pockets.

occnsion, beating off a eounteratta-k, While still undcr lie, the town of Ormoc
was cleared of booby traps, dnds, nurl enemy- axploluaives, the streets cleared of
debris, dump areas prepared, and the watn system put in operation. The extraordinary
heroism altd outs land in^ skill of the oilicers and men of the 3OBd modneer
Cmbab Batta!ion contributed in large measure to thc successful completion
of this cxtremelv diMcult. ogeration xnd reflect the hishest tradit.ions of the
United States Army. (General Orders 474, Hwadqualters 77th Infantry Divislou,

3. The 5026 Medicul Battalion, 17th Infantry Dbision, is cited for outstanding
performance of duty in aeiirm against tile enemy from 7 lo 17 llecember 1944 on
the Is1:t:id of Leytc, Philipgine Islands. After landing south of lpil on 7
Deecmbcr 1944, thc 302d MklcdicaJ Battalion, disl~l~ying rstrnordiriary courage,
brarery, aliil devotion to dxly, closely supported the opcrationu of the 77th

fat. the ctrptnrr cf O!'!n:lc, ccl!ccti~:g caniir.~?ies iicctionrd up to the front lines,
far in a!7ancc of ballnlio!i aiti siniiorle, evacuating wounded promgtly, despite
heavy euemy machinegun and small~arms fire. On 11 Decrrnlier 19.14, the clcnrirlg
company and battalion hearigunrlers moved npgrcrsirely into the town of
Ormoc while fierce hand~lo-hand fightiug was still in progress in ~riauy sections
and established the division dearing station in the ruins of nu old church located
within 60C yards af the front lines, which was still under enemy sniper anrl
mortnr fire. It remained in full oueratiou for admissions, surgery, and wa:d
care throustwut shelling by encmy mortars and continued to perform its mission
throughout the night, despite xn r~ltemptecl coullterlauding on the beach by
the Japanese not 200 yards from thc stnliori, some medical personnel occupying
emergency positions for the drfrnse of the *?lients. Again on 17 December 1!?44,
the 302d Medical Rattalion displayed exceptional hravery, stamina, etaciency, and
initiative in rendering mcdical ail1 to large numbers of wounded men under tlie
Wost trying contlitionv and almayy in close contact with the enemy. When two
r~giments of the 77th Infantry Division undertook a wide enveloping movement
throngh 10 milea of hostile teniLory barely passable only to foot troops
and rendered more dlfilcult by rice paddies, swamps. jungle streams, complete
lack of roads and trails, and constant strong enemy resistancc, collecting cornllnnies
hand carried litter cases arid all their uecPssary equipment and mpplies
and nl nil times were well uv forward with the assnnlt elements in the thick
of the heavy fighting. When evacuation of casualties became impossible, owing
to the isolated condition of Lhe regiments, collecting companies rstnhlished tenlwrnry

fight with the enemy to Drofeet wounded men in R temporary collecting paint
150 yards in the rear of front lines. Thc clearinn - station continued in full omrntion
in Ormoc throughout intermittent shelling by enemy artillery, during which
the Personnel of tlle clrarim - statton continued to unload incoming ambulances,
carrying the patients behind n stone wall where they mere tended until the
shclling ceased and they could be moved into wards. The extraordinary heroism,
bravery, and devotion to duty of all the personnel of the 302d Medical Buttalion,
77th Infantrg Division, wwe instmnxntal in saving the lives of many American
soldiers and retlrct the highest traditions of the Medical Dspavtment of tlle
Uuited Slnf.es. (General Orders 18, Headquarters 77th Infantry Division, 14

1. The 148th Infantry Regiment is cited for outstanding performance of duty
in action against the enemy at Luzau, Phiiipplne Islands, from 9 January to 4
March 1945. In every phase of the campaign in which it participated, the 148th
Infontry Reginlent achieved spectacular success, carrying out its missions with
courage and speedy efficiency. By its capture of the critical road junction of
Piaridel by spevrheadina the drive into Manila from the north, advancinz 137
miles in 24 days, by its liberation of the Americans interned at ~ilibid prison and
the patients and refugees at the Philippine Genernl Hospital, by establi~bing, under
fire, tbe vital bridgehead across the Pasig River and by the major role it played
in destroying the fanatical Japanese garrison in Manila, the 1.i8th Infantw Reg&
??tent contributed immeasurabls to the brilliant success achleved bv the United
States forces in the 1.ueon campaign. In every engagement, the regiment enhlbited
outstanding combat efficiency by uniformly inflicting severe losses an the cuemy,
while sustaining only moderate casualties. Each unit of the regiment performed
it8 assigned dut~ with consumnmte skill and fidelity. Service troops worked unceasinsly
to supply the combat troops, the mcdical detachment performed innumerable
acts of gallantry in caring for both soldiers and civilians, and the cannon
company gave invaluable direct flre support. Over open ground, through city
streets, the 148th Infantry Regiment met and decisively defeated the enemy whereever
he chose to make a stand. Its brilliant combat record ia s tribute to the
eouragq7@d skill of ewry man in the regiment and exemplifies the fluest traditions
of the'miiitnry service.

is cited for outstanding accomplishment in combat for the period 5 to 14 April
1.945 in the vicinity of Serravezm, Carmra, and Fosdinoro, Italy. When the SZd
Infantry Division with the 442d Regimmtel Combat Team attached was order&
to open the Fifth Army offeusive by executing a diversionary attack on the
Lignrian Coast of Italy, the combat team was ordered to make the main effort
of the attack. It was done by executing n daring and skillful flanking attack on
the gositions which formed the western anchor of the formidable Gothic Line.
In 4 days, the attack destroyed positions which had withstood the efforts of
friendly troops for 5 months. This was accomplishfd in the face of skilled enemy
forces nearly equal in stre~~gth to the attacking forces and w-ho had at least 6
months in which to improve their position. The 41+2d RcginLentaZ ComBat Team
drove forward, despite heavy casualties. Allowing the enemy no time far rest
or reorganization, the combat team liberated the city of Carram, seized the
heights beyond, and opened the way for further arlvnnces on the way to the koy
road center and port of la Spezia and to Genoa. It accomplished the mission
AQ0 3447B

of creating a diversion along the Lianian Coast, which served as a feint for the
subsequent break-through of the Fifth Army forces into Bologna and the Po
Valley. The successful aceomplishment of this mission turned a diversionary
action into a full scale and victorious offensive, which played an important part
in the final destruction of the German armies in Italy. Tbe gallantry and esprit
de corps displayed by the o5cers and men of the 44ed Regimental Camhat Team
in bitter action against a formidable enemy exemplify the finest traditions of the
armed forces of the United States.

ComPiete round trip between Lae and Finschhafen required about 22 hours of
running time for the small craft. Day after day, the boat crews made eonsecu-
tive runs withont rest or hot food, nearly always soaked by the heavy rains or
baked by the sun. During the hours of darkness, the route could be markcd by
strings of tracer bullets as well as bomb splashes from enemy search airplanes
intent on breakiw or disrngtinp this frail channel of communication. Everr
- ~.
available boat was used every day during the 5 weeks that it took to move the
balance of the divisiou with their equipment and supplies over the 70 hazardous
--
miles between Lae and Finschhafen. Not a passenger nor a boatload of supplies
was lost, even though an some trlps boats were cut by shrapnel and men were
blown overboard by concussion from bombs. Througlr the heroism, gvim deter-
mination, conspicuous gallantry, and excellent battle discipline of its members,
the Boat Battolion, 5S2d Boat aild Rllore Eeniment. enabled Allied forces to
achieve remarkable gains with minimum loss. (General Orders 249, Head-

2. Cornpuny B, 32SLh Engineer Combat Battalion, is eiled for outstanding
f&nplishment in combat during the period 17 to 21 Deeemher 1944 in the
vicinity of Uitche, France. Thc comgnny was assigned a mission of supporting
-, the 3d Battalion, 398th Infantry Regiment, to reaeh the Maginat Line, west of
the town of Bitehe. France. The strong enemy fortifications on high gnjund
west and northwest of the town were in such n positidn that thcy dominated
the terrain. The main line oi enemy defense was Fort Freudenberg, a large
fortification, and Fort Schiesseek, which had 11 adjacent units, each unit mith a
gun emplacement or a series of guns ranging from 47-mm to 135-mm, and each
having a 360 degrees traverse, making them mutually supporting. The walls
of the fortifications were reinforced concrete from 3 to 10 feet thick. Some of
the units had as mmly as five stories below mound level, Nith underground
-
railroads which nwc used for supply ~outes. Taking advantage of a 4hninute
barrage, the engineer denmlitiou squads moved toward the forts at 1130 on
17 December 1914, with no terrain features far protection and only the craters
made by the artillery fire for cover, which mere unrier conlinuaus mortar, auto-
matic-weapons, small-arms, and heavy nrliilery fire. Each man in the demoli.
tion squad carried 30 pounds of TNT with him through the intense heavy fire.
When the infantry was pinned down, the demolition squads went ahead and
placed their charges against tbe illb bores and neutralized them. This allowed
the infantry to mare up and ocru~ly the ~illhoxes. Wide the demolition squads
mere in the nitark, the remainder of the company established a dump of
several tons of TNT in n pillbox at the line of dcpnrlure, and after the first
assault, they brought more chorgcs of TNT forvnrd in %-ton trucks. Heavy
casualties necessitated rotating of assault trwus so that the entire camgany
performed in that capacity. The enemy had many baaby traps in the piilboxcs,
whieh the engineer soldiers inaetivntcd xnd there n'ere no casualties of this
source during the attack. On 19 December 1V44, the forts were destroyed by
placing 1,600 pounds of TN'I', which destroyed the ventilating system and forced
the remaining enemy troops to leave by an escape hatch during the cnwr of
darkncss. The fighting aggressiveness, courage, and devotion to duty displayed
by men~hers of Company B, J25th Engineer Combat Battalion, arc worthy of
emulation and reflect honor on the armed forces of thc United States. (General
Orders I%, Headquarters 100th Infantry Division, 16 June 1945, as aIlproved by

- -
of duty in armed conflict with the euemy during
the period 30 April to 5 May 1915, in the vicinity of Urasoe-Mura, Okinama.
Ryukrus Islands. During this period, the 1st Battalion, 807th Infmtru
Regiment, distinguished itself by its skillful and fearless Performance of an
exlremely difficult mission, ass;miting and securing the escarpment, a vertical
cliff some 250 feet in heieht. - . in the vicinitv of "Pinnacle Rock!' This coral
rock fortress, honeyeombcd with caves; corridors, and pillboxes, heavily fortified,
and fanaticalls defended, had hcld uo the eencral advance for 12 days. Starting
its attack at Oi30 on 30 April 1915, the battalion advnneed inch by inch against
a bidil of enemy tire directed from above, and it suffered heavy rasualties.
Fighting to n.irhin 20 feet of the top, the battalion withstood all attempts to
dislodge it, and at dawn tile following day pushed orcr the top, using ?&foot
Scalillg ladders and cargo nets. fighting the enemy with grenades and hnnQtahnnd,
and blast in^ and burning out caves with gasoline and improvised explosims.
The "sccsnru-" struggle for the top of tlle ridge eoutinued without let up
night and day during 3 and 4 May 1045, with men standing on the brink to
hurl boxes of grenades at the euemy, who replied with machine guns, rifles,
and grenades, often from positions only 60 yard avay. On 6 May 1946, the
battalion adrnnced all the way down the south side of the escarpment, bloring
and Sealing eaves as it went. The battalion used over 6,000 hand grenades.
fired over 18,000 rounds of mortar ammunition, and is credited wirh having
killed 1,150 enemy dnririg the operation. It captured one 75-mm and one
47-Uim antitank gun, 7 henvy machine guns, 22 light machine guns, 6 heavy
mortars, and innumerable knee mortars and rifles. There was a total of 309
cnsualties ullt of a total of 705 who entered the action. The extraordinary
tenacity, courage, initiative, ~allantrs, ~. and determination to close with the
erlerny exhibited by the officers and mcu of the 1st Battalion, 307th Infanivy

from 23 Fcbruary to I1 March 1946. The sq~~adron was assigned the mission uf
driving through a series of hills Lelween Tay T:+y and Antipola and securing a
high escarpment dominating the city of Antipolo and the surrounding arca. All
hills wilhin the asrigned Sector had been systematically developed into a huge
fortified zone during the Japanese occupation. No entrenchments were visible
from the air, or even at close visual range, without intensive terrain study with
Dowerfill scopes. Assaulting aggressively, the squadron scizcd a kcy terrain
featore and was prolnptly slil&?ctwI to intense sniper and maelline-gun fire from
dl sides. The locations of hostile weapons mere practically impassible to de-
termlne and thc rqurrdrun, refusing to withdmw, dug in amid an increasing rate
Of casualties. That night, and for 9 successive nights, the sqnadron was sub-
jected to intense previously registered mortar, artillery, and rocket barrages.

Supply details fought their way in and out to fortify the position and thus reduce
the mounting casualty rate. Before the position could bc properly fortified, the
aid station was destroyed and the squadron commander and two troon commanders
were wounded. Enlisted and officer casualties mounted daily. Grimly
deterntined to continue the assaolt and fulfill its mission, the squadron ranged
in all directions day and night, blowing bunkers and caves and ensaging in handto-hand
fighting against Intiltrating. partics and countcrnttncking Japanese. A
47-mrn alltiianlr gun was desiroycd-just 30 feet from the perimeter after patrols
had bypassed it on 3 successive days. All patrols endeavoring to remain outside
the perimeter in temporaly entrenchments were alhjceted to previously registered
barmb-s from knee mortars, %-mm and 150-mm mortars and medium
and heavy artillery. Tans of demolitions were utilized in sealing caves containing
hoslile troops and artiliery and mortar psitions of all'typrs. Rocket
and artiliery positions were repeatedly destroyed by 37-mm and 75-mm guns
mar~llanrlled to position within the perimeter. IIill faces were burned with white
PhOsPorus from arlillery and mortar shells and all spoil of any nature subjectcC
to direct fire. On the 10th day, the squadron more0 forward, eontinning n
ferocious offensive plan of systmmtie reduction of hostile drknses. On the 14th
day, the objective was secured and the area completely mopped up. In tho reduction
of this fortified men, the sqnadron, while sustaining over 30 percent
losses, by its afgressive, - - determined efforts killed over 1.000 Japanese and destrayed
more Lhnn 300 hunkers and caves containing numerous artillery, mortar,
machine am, and rocket oositions. In fulflllinz its mission, the 3d Squadron,
7th Cavalry, vith reinforcements, contributed directly to the complele disintegration
of organized defense over a wide area and the total destruction of Shimbu
Line. (General Orders 232, Headquarters 1st Cavalry Division, 8 Deecnlher 1945,
a8 npproved by the Commander in Chief, United States Army Forces, Pacific.)
5. The 6th Bombardment Group (VH) is cited far oiltsiauding perforlnnnce
of duty in armed conflict with the cnemy. This group was alerted for a mxximum
cffort attaek to take off only 86 hours after return of their bombers from
a rnaxirnum effort mission, on which a large number of the aircraft had sustained
extensive battle damage. Tireless and efficient work by the maintenance crews
readied tventy-seven B-23's by take-off time on 25 May 1845 far ilds important
attack against the last remaining strategicrrliy vaiuahle industrial section of
Tokyo not yet destroyed. In addition to ihe extreme hazards of long overwater
flight and grent distances from friendly bases, the bombing problem was such
that the approximate routc and altitude of attack werc known to the enemy with
consequent massing of defenses. Attacking first after the pathfinders when
the defenscs had hecn fully alerted and not yet saturated hy the raid, the
6th Bombardmmt Group's aircraft were picked up by effective scarcl~lights and
clearly silhouetted from the initial poiut through the target area. Extremely
intense and accurate heavy antiaircraft, automatic weapons fire. and rockets, all
effective against low-level attacks, buffeted the bombers. The enemy air fie.
fenses were at maximum force with 41 night flchters - makine - 28 accressive
attacks agninst the group's aircraft. In fighting them off, the gunners lie~troyed
eieht and darnaced - three hostile interceotors. As lnanv as 50 suicide xir~~innes
were also employed by the enemy in defense of this most important target.
Three B-29's of the group force were lost and 14 heavily damagcd in fighting
their way through almost insurmountable defenses to complete succcssfull~ their
assigned task. Through the indomitablc courage. skill, and extraordinary devotion
to duty in the face of fanatical enemy opposition exhibited by the combat

area. During the mission, a total of 122 fighter attacks were made at the intrephl
air crews of the 19th Bombarrlm

(General Ordcrs 124, Hztldquarters Twcntieth Air li'orce. 10 December lWS, ns
approved by the Comlnnnder in Chief, United Spates .4rmy Forces, Pacific.)
9. The 39th Bo1,~bardnieat Group (VH) is cited for outstanding performance
of duty in armed conflict with the enemy. In prcpnration for a ruaximuln effort
bombing mission against the highly important Otake oil refincry and storage
arca on the Japanese home island of IIansllu, the ground persorrnel worked with
untiring rigor and exceptiurlal teehniral ability to bring their H-29 aircraft to
11eak operating efficiency. On 10 Mxy 1944 29 very heavy bombers of tile
$gth Dombnrdment Group (VH), nssignd to lrnd the cntire wing on this vilal
strike, took ofC from their base on Guam Owr more tlmn 1,500 miles of own
sea, nndauntcd by Ule dangers of the flight and lllc atlxck against a hearilg
defended priority targct in the heart of the mcmy mainland, they pressed an to
tb? initial point. On the bomb run, approximately 43 aggressire figlller attacks
were made on tile bombers, which were flyiw mittmat benefit of friendly escorl.
Gallantly fighting off this fierce resistance, the gunners deutroyed or damaged
10 of the attacking aiqi1:rnes. Hostile eround iustnllati~ns hurled intense and
the Inland Sea near ttie target, nddcd n shattering concentration of fink to the
Savage fire of Lhe ground batteries. Dcspitc this fnnaticni deferst?, which crippled
aircraft throughout the fonnntion, tlie determined crcms of the 3911~ Lfornbardmevt
Croup (VIf) presscd on unswervingly to the objcctire. From :m nrcrazre altitude
of 15,400 feet, they enscaded high explosive8 on tire oil retinery wit11 extreme
accuracy. Erel~ sq~ladrun hammered the target wilil ciireci hits, achieving
dewstating rcsults. On this bimha.drneut, one of the most successful ~lrrcisirm
aLtx1;~ of the Pacific air war, a vital soui'ce of high octane Easolne for the
Jagnnrse mar machine was rendered com]~ielelg inuperati\-e. The exceptional
resolntiou and courage erlcibited by tile colubnt mews an this iiighiy inqwrtant
strike against the enemy and the technical Mli and dcrotinn to duty of the
ground perso~lnel combined 10 forln a bvillinllt cliallter in Lllc history of the armed

Is cited for extraordinary heroism and outstanding performance of duty in its
determined drive to overcome bitter opposition in the IIurtgen Forest. On 16
November, the 2% I%fantr$! Regiment, with attachments, opened an offensive with
the mission of clearing a portion of the Hurtgen Forest of poworful enemy forces
and fighting its way to the noer River and Cologne Plain. Throughout the
campaign, the progress of the unit was seriously impeded by an unusual com-
bination of inclement weather and diffimlt terrain. Unseasonable precipitation
and damp, penetrating cold were a constant detriment to the health and moll-
being of the personnel. The terrain was chnracterizwl by deuscly forested hills,
swollen streams, and deep, adhesive mud, which relnrded all morernent of troops
and vehicles. n'olly cognizant of the decided strategic advantages which this
area afforded for effective defense, the enemy had prepared an elaborate system
of mutually supporting fortitications. The effectircness of enemy artillery and
mortar fire was considerably enhanced by the frequency of tree bursts in this
heavily timbered area. Inasmuch as nntural conditions and rigid construction
AGO 3491B

of enemy strongholds frequently precluded the effective employment of aerial and
motorized suppnrt, the burden of neutralizing fanatically defended encmy fortifications
fell heavily upon the shoulders of the infantrymen, as exemplified in
the capture of Gnmshau, a town in which concrete and steel reinforced basements
rendered each house veritably impregnable to repeated artillery and aerial
attacks. Thc town was ultimately captured by an assnult in which the infantry
closed with the enemy in hand-to-hand night fighting. The 2Pd Infantry Regiment
with attachments, cleared its portion of the Hurtgen Forest and reached its
objective on 4 Deeember 1944, onenine - - a gateway - to the Cologne Plain and the
Ihlimate rapid eonelusion of the European conflict. The individual courage, valor,
and tenacity displayed by the oersonnel of the 22d Infantry Regimmt, with
attachments; in the face of superior odds, unusually hazardous conditions, and
unfavorable weather were in keeping wlth highest traditions of the armed forces.
2. The 142d Znfantry Regiment and 1st Platoon, Company B, 111th Engineer
Combat Battalion, attached, displayed heroism, gallantry, and outstanding
,'nchierement in combat from 19 la 22 March 19-15 iu the vicinity oi Ober Otterbach,
Germany. Aftcr breaching the hluder River defenses, thc l4Pd Infantry Regiment
oursued the enemy through - the Wissembaurr: - Gau . and. an 19 March 1945, advaneed
toward one of the most strongly fortified seetors irf the Siegfried Line.
While the 1st Ilattnlion was attacking Ober Ottcrbach under intense enemy artilieSx
rocket, machine~gun, and rille fire from German strong points on the snrraundircg
hills, the 2d Battali6n attacked west of Ober Ottcrbach and secured a
foothold in the Siegfried defenses on Ebnulrg Hill. The enem7 launehcd a violent
counterattack to recapture the lost ~ositiuns, and thromghaut the following day.

the 1st Battalion nttarked a sector of tiic Siegfried Line norlheast af Ober Otterbach
and encountered intense machinew~n cross-fire from row won row of
mutually supporting pillboxes, the unit withdrew into Ober Orterbnch and, at
dusk on 20 &larch. moved west. naraliel to the Siecfried - defenses, to join the 3d
Battalion on the Grassberg height Fully exploiting the foothold in the cuemy
defenses which the 3d Battalion had eslablisiied after hours of intense fighting.
the two battalions attacked together with the mission of penetrating the Siegfried
Line and seizing Dorrenbach to the north. Although the despernte enemy was
determined to defend his posilions at all costs, elements of the 1st Battalion
Smashed hostile o~~osition - - and, desnite heavy losses, broke through this system of

enemy from his forticatians, and, despite intense hostile fire from the cleverly
arranged strnng points, they reduced 54 pillboxes and captured approximately 260
Germans. As a result of the indomitable courage, determination, and esprit de

Biemon William Muller, Ph. D., United States Geological Survey, performed
meritorious services with the Alaskan Division, Air Transport Command, from
August 1914 to September 1045. The scientific data on permafrost accumulated
by Dr. Naller, the correlation of theoretical knavleage and practical application
as it applies to construction under Arctic conditions, and the compilation of a
hiiiliography of existing information of permafrost have been of inestimable
value in developing the adaptation of engineering principles to prevailing frost

Major Eric 6. Kearalev, British Ann& on 9 September 1943, near Salerno,
Italy, accompanied his commanding omcer on a reconnaissance to select positions
to prevent enemy penetration along a highway inta the town. Having
found sultnble sites, they sent their vehicle back to collect company guldes. When
the vehicle on its return trip was stopped by a road black, they realieed that
they were bebind the enemy hnes. A decision was made to return, worlting their
may around the enemy flank, but Major Bearsley elected to remain with the
hope of rescuing his men. Within a few minutes, using only his revolver, he
captured three mcmhcrs of the road block crew who were moving back from
their nosition and. shortlv after. 5ve others who followed. He then advanced
on the road block arid captured the three remaining Germans, killing one who

Gompaw B, 44th Tank Battalion, moved out as a completely motorized "flying
squadron" from Sau Roque, over 100 miles from Manila, early in the morning
of 1 February 1945. Pushing forward aggressirely through the Japanese lines
at Cabanatwan, the squadrun reached Nuvaliches, a barrio 10 miles northeast of
Manila, late in Lhe nftei-noon of 3 February. Here Japanese revislance stiffened,
as the enemy, surprised by this unexpected advance ta threaten his stronghold
in the city, franctically and fanatically defended his strong position behind the
Tuliahin River. The resistance at Noraliches was neutralized quickly and bypassed,
as the inspired force drove forward ruthlessly toward its two main
objecti~es in Manila: Malacman Palace. seat of the Jananese-dominated Cornmonu'eaith
Government, and Santo Tumas University, where some 3,700 Allied
internees were held motive by the euems. Entering Manila at 1840, 3 February,
one troop reinforced, quickly seized Malacanan Palace, which it held despite
Japanese counterattaclrs. The balance of the force, with a large part of the
remaining troops closely engaged and cut aL from the remainder at the Far
Eastern University, nevertheless pushed its attack to hasten the liberation of
the now threatened internees at Santn Tomas University. While enemy troops
inside the university grounds, fighting from buildings occupied by internees,
covered all routes of un~roach . - wiLh machine euns, grenades. and rifle fire, the
small force crashed through the barricaded iron gate. A short time later, juir~ed
by the force that had fought its way thrnngh the Jnpauese positions at the Far
Eastern University, the syundrou quirkly destroyed the Japanese garrison, with
the exception of 70, who because they were barrieaded in one of the buildings
and using - a lawe --. eroun of civilians us hostaces, - . were oermitted to leave the
grounds at a later date under an arranged truce. During the aperation within
the compound at Santo Tonms Univci-sitv, . . not a single Ailied interrxe was injured
or wounded. Whenever tho Japanese fired from positions also occupied
by civilians, the soldiers of the squadron repeated!y held their fire and risked
further rasualtieg to themselves to avoid possible injury to any internees. The
officers and men of the squadron, completely disregarding the imminent danger
of becoming isolated from the main body of the division troops and being annihilated
by a numerically superior enemy force within the city, pressed their
attack boldly and aggressiaciy. Within a periad of 72 hours, during which time
they had fought continually without rest, the 2d Bguadron, 8th Cavalry with
reinforements, bad adranced through 100 miles of enemg-held territory to be
the first troops to euter the city of Manila, to seize the sent of the Japauesedominated
Philippine Government, and to liberate safely 3,700 Allied internees
at Santo Tomas University. (General Orders 218, Headquarters 1st Cavalry
Division, 17 Narember 1845, as appmved by the Commander In Chief, Unlted

2. The 2d Battalion, 12.4171 Infantry Regiment, is cited for oututandiug performmce
of duty in action against the enemy on Mindanao, Philippine Islands, during
the period 22 April to 27 June 1845. The battalion landed at Cotabato, Philippine
Islands, on 22 April 1945 and secured the area. Contact was established and
forces committed in direction of Sarangani Bay and h'uro. The next dal-, the
battalion was mithdrawn from this action and directed to spearhead an infantry
division advancing into the interior. This operntton was aimed at securiug the
Sayre Highway, thereby cutting the main supply route and line of mmrnnnicn-
AGO 35128

tlons between the two enemy stron~hnlds at Davao in the south and Oagayan in
the north. The battalion embarked from Cotabato on the evening of 26 Aoril
1945 In LChl's far Fort Pikit. The shortage of craft nrevented themovement of
organic vehicles and an weapons had to he hand carried. The battalion made a
forced mnrrh of 16milrs immedistelg opon landing, the advance elements Crosslng
the Pulsngi River at its junction with the Sayre Highway dndng the night. A
bridgehead was established and contact with the enemy was made at once. The
entire battalion closed into the bri&&ead st 1500 the same day, moving under
adverse weather conditions and over dimcult terrain. After only 3 hours rest,
reports were received of an enemy force advancing south to the critical junction
of the Sayre Highway and Highway Number 1 near Kabacan, endangering the
entire operation. At 1800, the battalion moved north to contact and destroy the
enemy. At 2300, after advancing 10 miles, the battalion met Strong and determined
opposition in a night fire Bght. The engagement lasted through the night,
the entire battalion being committed to halt the advance of a strong, fan:ltical
force determined to destroy the critical bridgehead across the Pulangi River.
The enemy was stopped and driven to the north by 0530, completely disorgaulzed.
Thc battalion had been without sleep for 3 nights, and had made forced marches
by land and overwater movemen* by boat over a distance of 71 mila. Nevatheiess,
they reorganized, and at 0800, initiated a relentless pursuit of the enemy
for an additional 5 miles. A captured field order identifled the opwsing force
as a reinforced battalion suaaorted . - hv 75-mm - mns. The enemy was comvletels . -
disorganlz~d from the fight and the aggressive pursuit of the battalion, and were
destroyed in detail. The battalion was relieved on !23 April 1945 after 7 days
of continuo~~s fighting and marching without rest and moved in support of the
lead battalion. Three days later, they were committed to the east on the Kibawe.
Talomo Trail, the route of the encmy withdrawal, and for 3 days, fought a suicidal
force endeavoring to get across the Pulangi River. The advance of the rest of
the combat team was held up by a strong force in well-organized positions on
Ideal defensive terrain in the Pinalay Lake area. The battalion was then
committed to this engagement, and for the next 4 days, attacked the position from
the flanks and the rear. On the fourth day, supported for the first time by
ariillrry flre, the battnlion overran tlle position and was credited with 106 of
tlle 187 enemy found killed. The next nlght, the enemy launched a counterattack
anainst the battalion wrimcter, which lasted throughout the night. The attack
was reouisetl and 73 of the enemy were killed in the enaaaement. On 15 May

at two points, by use of field expedients, and the remainder of the enemy force
was either destroyed or driven into the mountains east of the river. The battalion
mas relieved and assembled in Malxybalxg on 27 June 1945. The aggressive
action of the battalion, continually driving the enemy before them, never allowing
him to reorganize or consolidate, played s major role in the liberation of Mindanao
in advancc of the highest expcctaiions Duri~g the period, a total of 67 days,
the battalion was in dirwt contact with the enemy for 50 days. Of the remaining
time, only 4 days were available for rest and recuperation. The battallon
accounted for 430 enemy killed, 117 found dead, and 5 prisoners of war. The
conspicuous gallantry and outstanding performance of duty from 22 April to
27 June 1945 by all members of the Ed Battalim, 1E4tlb Infantry Regiment,
refiected great ercdit on themselves and upheld the highest traditions of the

3. The Zd Battalion, 169th Infantry Regiment, is cited for outstanding perform-
, ance of duty in action against tlle enemy at Luzon, Philippine Islnnds. At 1830
hours on 17 January 1945, the 2d Battalion, 168th 1nfantr.y Regiment, received
orders to move out at 0730 lluurs. 18 January, to secure the road junction on tlle
im~ortant north-south National Hichwav (Biehwar . 3) . 600 pards northeast of
Sison, Pangasinan Province, Luzon, Philippine Islnnds, and block any movement
to the north or to the south, cutting - off nu encmv force offeriue - stiff resistance
from fortified emlllacements on Hill 362 and Mt. Alava, preventing this force
from being reinforced and resupplied, and cutting the main route of withdrawal
of enemy troops northward. At receipt of the order, the battalion was at
Barrio Palacpalac, 4% miles south of the dcsigllated objective. The battalion,
with one plainon of Cannon Company and two platoons of Antitank Company,
160th Infantry Regiment, attached, moved out at 0730, 18 J;muary 1946, against
scattered resistance and secured the road junction and bridge at Bobonan at
0930, destroying a small enemy force of fire riflemen e~uigped with dcmolitions.

junclion and ran into stiff resistance from mell-fortifled automatie wenpons posi-
- -
tions and riflemen occupying the hi& ground to the west of Highway 3. The
battalion commander rcqucsled tank support and, at 1300 hours, one platoon of
the 716th Tank Battalion arrived to support the attack. With Co~npany F
astride Lhe highway, Con~pany E on the left, Company G on the right, and tnuks
in close support, the battalion attaclrrd tile enemy rclad block 600 yards north of
Bobonan and knocked oul2 light mnclrine guns, 1 heavy machine gun, and killed
Z3 enemy riflemen. At this noiot, extremely accurate artillery fire of 75-mm
. .
caliber was placed on the forward elements of the battdion from the high ground
to the northeast and sontlrwest. Under this heavy fire, tile battalion moved
northward and, 800 yards short of the objeclive, encountered another road blork.
Utilizing tank and infantry, 2 light rnnchine guns and 1 knee mortar were de.
stroyed and 18 enemy riflemen killed. At 1600 hours, still under artillery fire,
tlle battalion moved into and secured the road junction northeast of Pison. The
tanks wilhdrcw on orders shortly after the battalion had secured its objectire.
As the battalion dug in defensive positions, the enemy artillery fire, now sulllde-
mented by SO-inm mortar fire, hecame intense and shortly before dusk, a pnrticu-
larly heavy concentrnlion wiped out the defensive sector covering the road from
Sison. One rifle. platoon of Company G suffered 2.3 casualties. Intermittent
artillery and mortar fire continued during the earlier part of the night. At 0500

destroyed the remaining enemy vehicles and a counterattack by Company I3
destroyed or drove out the remaining enemy in the battalion defensive area. At
nDproximately 0000, two platoons of tanks returned to assist in mopping up. Upan
their reaching the road block, enemy mortars and artillery opened up with
renewed energy, intiieting heavy cnsunlties on troops and immobilizing two
tauks, one of which burned completely. Upon order of tho acting battalion
commander, tlle tanks withdrew and an urgent call was sent for ambulances
nud mcdics. These were dispatched, but could not reach the battalion road
lhck because of intense artillery and mortar fire. The battalion remained in
position under this continued pounding and repulsed sewral small counterattacks
throughout the morning. At 1230 hours, the order to withdraw was received
and, still under heavy fire, the battalion effected an orderly withdrawal, taking
their wounded with them. During this comgiete engagement, the battalion cap

4. The 530th Bom8ardrnent Group (VH) is cited for outstanding performance
of duty in armed conflict with the enemy. Alerted to prepare a maximum number
of B-29 aircraft for a daylight precision attack against the high priority and
heavily defended Nnkjima~Musashiuu aircraft plant, located an the outskirts of
Tokso, the determined ground ercws worked tirelessly day and night to bring
the bomhers to peak mechanical condition. On 8 August lM5, 30 ~uperfortresses.

throughout ibe bomb run. Fink fragments tore through every airplane iu the lead

deputy lead aircraft suffered major battlc damage. Undeterred by this flerce
opposition, the courageous crewmen of the 330th Bom~ardment Group (VII)
pressed on determinedly to brave the withering onslaught and released their
bombs squarely on the fnctory. Seventy-six percent of the bomb load was pinpointed

their efforts in order that their B-29's would be in the best possible condition to

making this trip, their second strike against the Japanese Empire, a complete
success. On 10 February 1946, 21 aircraft, heavily loaded with high explosive

The &d Battalion, 854th Infantry Regiment, GSd Infantry Division, is cited Ior
outstanding ~erformann of duty during the period 25 to 29 January 1945, in
capturing the heavily fortiflea and defended stronghold of Jebshcim, France, in
the Culmar Pocket. Attacking . in subzero weother through . fierce winds and deen
numbing suaw, the Ed Battalion met stalwart, determined resistance from ma
chine guns in Dillboxes, small-arms flre, and heavy artillery fire. It n'as apoarent
that the Germans were stubbornly determined to hold this last stronghold io the
Calmar Pocket, the key city of their well-planned defensive arc. The men of
the &d Betlalion fought their way to thc Blind River and vaded the icy, swiftflowing
stream under a devastating barrage. Slowly and grimly the men ndvanced,
though suffering henry casualties in the intense fire coming from three
directions, Look the concrete bunkers with the aid of tank destroyers, and eliminated
the resistance before the town whirh had pplviously turned back eotiw
regiments. Penetrating the flaming town, the men fou~ht bitterly against the
desperate and determined defeudcr, neither giving nor asking quarter. In 2 days
01 house-to-housc. floor~ta-floor, and room-to-room fichting. - - the town was lost
iind regained three times. While enemy 88-mw guns from the woods to the east
ooured fire on the unit, the exhausted and frozen men fought ~iolently to gain the
last portion of tho city still held by the enemy. So fierce and determined was
their attack that the enemy marched out of their strong~oiuts nud surrendered.
The fierceuess of their resistnnce lends credence to their statements that Jebsheim
was being used as a carps headquarters. With the fall of JebEheim to the
Bd Battalion, 254th Ininntry Regimext, the hub of German resistance in the
strong Colmar Packet was broken and another vital Dortian of France was

liberated. The indomitable murage, fortitude, determination, and eeal of the
men of the Zd Battalion, 255th Infantry Eegbmnt, 6% Infantry Division, are a
shining example to their fellow countrymen and reflect the highest credit on
them and the armed forces of the United States. (General Orders 87, Head-
quarters United States Army Forces, European Theater (Main), 25 March 1946,
as approved by the Commanding General, United States Army Forces, European
Theater (Main).)

to the following-named enlisted man:
Private First Class Chorles R. Lannridrre - - arm^ serial No. 3W8001). Co~nuanv - -
G, 274th Infantry Regiment, Army of the Unitrd States, displayed heroic conduct
in action at Stirina Wendel, Fmnce. on 4 March 1945. During . a commmy - ~
attack, the supporting 5re of the machine gun section was halted, because of a
scarcity of ammunition, when he volunteered to secure a new supply. Private
Lanpidge crawled succr~sfully sel-cml hundred .yards within sight of the enemy
nuder intcnse mortar and artillery fire and returned courageously with ammunition
which enahled his section to resume its mission.
VILBATTLE HONORS.-As authorized by Executive Order 9396 (sec. I. WD
BuL 22, 19431, superceding Executive Order SO73 (see; 111, WD Bul. 11, 1942).
citation of the following unit in the general orders indicated is confirmed under
the prorisions of section IV, WD Cireulnr 333, 1943, in the name of the President
of the United States as public evidence of deserred honor and distinction. The
citatIon rends as fallaws:
The 3d Eatalion, 20th Izfnntry Regiment, is cited for outstrmdinp gallantry
and exrraordinary heroism in action against Lhe enemy at Xaffin Bas, Dutch
New Guinea, dnring the period 21 to 25 Jnne 1914. On 21 June 1914, the 3d Bottalion,
20th Infantry Rrginent, begun the attack to sceure Lane Tree Rill. The
objective was a precipitous hill cornposed entirely of coral rock, pitted with
numerous eaves offering natural defensive positions, corered with dense tropical
Jungle, and commanding friendly installations and communications in the Maffin
Bay area. After a short advance under withering rifi?, antomatic-weapons,
mortar, and artillery fire from the enemy's cleverly eoncealcd and well-prepared
positions, the battalion was halted and dug in for the night. Por the nexr 3 days,
the Sd Rnttnlbs, 20th Infnntry Regimext, launched reDcated nsuanlts in a srrphy-steg
ad~ance toward the crest of Lone Tree Hill, which could only bc reached
by climUing steep slopes and precipitous cliffs offering- little cover. The enems,
from his well-derelaped emplacements in eaves and crevices, defended to lhe
death and launched repented and savage counter-attacks, bath day and night.
At times, fierce hand-to-hand fighting occurretl in which thc men of the battalion
fought with bayonet and trench knives to hold thcir ground. Besupply of ammnnitlon,
water, rations, and plasma and evacuation were accomplished by
reinforced carrying parties, who fought their way through despite heary enemy
fire from nbow and from Bank positions ahich eonlpietely cavered the suggly
line. Despite the exhaustion of 3 days and nights of constant fighting, with
limited rations, water, and medical supplies, and in almost constant rain, 3 final
assault was made at dawn 24 June 1941, which wan Lone Trcc Hill and held
it against a last banzai attack that night. During the action, the 3d Eattalion,
20th Infantry Regimmt, lost 73 men killed and 181 wounded. Over 900 dead Japs
were counted in the area after the battle. The battalion, by its distinguished
performance of duty, captured a terrain ftmlure of great tactical importance and
overcame a fanatically determined and strongly entrenched enrrny. The gal-
AGO 3644B

lantry, tenacity, and undying spirit to close with and destroy the enenly displayed
by all officers and men of tire 3d Batlnfion, 90th Infunfry Regiment, during this
engagement, are in the highest traditions of the American soldier and rcflect
great honor on the Army of the United States. (Geuernl Orders 235, Head-
qunrters 6th Infantry Division, 23 Korember 1945, as approved by the Com-

colicction of needed information personally leading or directing scientific teams
to thcir targets, frequently under enemy fire, were important factors in the out-
6Tanding GUCC~SS of this mission. His :ability, courase, intelligent planning, and
devotion to duly contributed much to the furtherance of the war cffort.
Dmid Arouer, cirilian ogerntional analyst, affiliated with Headquarters Army
Air Forces, India-Rurmn Theater, prrfnrrniml rnrritorions services from July
104 to May 1945. During Lhe dificult period when tllc Bilics were assuming

1. The Sd Battalion, 6% Inlantry Reginienf, is cited for outstnnding performance
of duty in action against the enemy on Luzon, Phili~pine Islands, during
the period 23 February to 1 March 1915. The Sd Battalion, G3d Illfantrg Regiment,
a on 22 February 1945, n.as assigned the mission of swuring the high ground nartheast
of Montalban, Riznl Province. This objective was a key ~osition in the
formidable and strongly defeuded Shirnliu Line east of Jlnnila. The objective
was studded with Jsp pillboxes and cave and tunnel positions. whotie approaches
Kere covered with artillery and heavy mortar fire, and was defended by skillful
and determined Jan infantry. On 23 Fcbruarv. . the battalion moved under cover
of darkness across the Marikina River Valley, overran the Jap outpost line in
a vicious night attack, and by dawn had stormed and taken its initial objective,
a small hill to the south of the final objective, only after a fierce attack mith
bayonets and grenades. By late afternoon, the flnal ol~jeetive had been taken,
despite intense enemy artillery, heavy mortar, and small~nrms firc. From 24
Febrnaly to 1 March, the enemy attempted to retake the hill with eight determined
infantry night counterattacks, supported by massed artillery and mortar
fires from weapons ranging up to 155-mm guns and 150-mm mortars. Twice the
enemy reached our dug-in positions, bnt were hurled back in bitter hnnd~to~haud
flrhtina At no time did thc battalion eive - an inch of - rronnd. The seizure of
this objective cut off the main Jap line of communications through Montalban
and bottled up tho encmy in the Mnrikina River Gorgc neodqnarters and communications
personnel werc subjected to dircet attack to the same degree as mere
front line troops. Jledical and chaplnin personnel frequently carried out. t:irir
dutim under heavy fire. Because of the intensity and accuracy of enemy artillery
and heavy mortar concentrations, all supply and evacuation had to be accomplished
under COT-er of darkness over routes which were consinntly being
attacked by enems . nieht - infiltration and riemolition - narlies. Jan ensualties rlur..
in6 the period were 210 countcd killed in the objective area. Friendly casualties
werc 12 dead and 37 woundw3 and iniured. The mannifieent emnt de corns displayed
in this engagement hy every officer and man of the battalion distinguished
this unit to an exlreordiunry dcgree. The courage and unswcl.virr~ devotion of
Uuty of a11 members of the Yd Batlalion, 6Sd Infantry Regiment, reflected great
credit on the Arms of the United Slates. [General Orders 160, l3eadqnarters
8th Infantry Division, 13 Aupust 1845. as approved by the Commander in Chief,
United States Army Forces, Pacific.)
2. The 3d Battalion and Companies A am3 B, Z5Yd Infantrq Regiment, are cited
for outstanding performance of duty in action against the enemy from 17
to 24 Febrodrg 1945, near Kleinblittersdorf, Gcrmany. These troops mere given
the mission of leading the reentry of Scventh Army troops into Germaiq by
effecting a erossillg of the Blies and Sarre Rivers and attacking n aell-organized
and partially fortified enemy position. With gallantry and determination, the
objective was cwicklv . . secured with very . light - casualties. The enemy then
literally attacked from all directions with armor and infantry and, at one lime,
succeeded iu penetrating the main line of resistance to dig in. By great conrage,
fortitude, and cohcsion af the personnel of the Yd Battalzon and Comualiies A and
B, this and all other enemy counterattacks were eliminated. On the night of 18
AGO 3G88B

Aehruarr the enemy succeeded in reaching Auermacher, thus cutting off the
Jd Battalion ond Companies A from D. The attacking enemy forces were stopped
by Cornpant A and eliminated by determined flre from the Jd BotloEion and
Company B, combined with that of Con~pany A, while attempting to penetrate
further south toward the bridge over the Sarre River. During this action, 120
Germans werc killed, an unkrlown number wounded, and 210 were tnken prisoner,
at n cost to these units of 15 killed and 45 wounded. The outstanding courage,
skill, and devotion to duty displayed by the officers and men of the Sd Battalion
and Companies A and B, S5Sd Infantry Reghent, reflected the highest credit
on the United St~tes -4rmy. (General Order 10, Readquarters Serenth United
States Army, 7 January 1946, as approved by the Commanding General, Seventh
United States Army.)
3. The E6tb Pllotoyraphio Reconnaissance Squadron is cited for outstanding
perforrn~~ce of dutr in the Philippine Islands on 22 March 1945. .4t thnt time,
the Sixth Army, hammering at the fanatically resisting Yamashita line on
Lumo, and fighting furiously near the town of Baguio and in the approaches to
the Cagayan Valley, ~iraily needed photographs of enemy installations and escape
mutes. On 22 March 1945, when the Sixth Army ordered that 23 photographic
missions he made to cover all key Japanese positions on Lneon, the 36th Photographic
Reconnnissnnct Squadron, in order to carry out this tremendous task,
pressed all avniiuble nilots into service and dispatched 21 sorties, 18 of which
were successfful, despite dificult weather conditions. Forced at times ta

ditches half filled \!-itli mter and held that iiue unwaveringly against repented
attacks b~ screaniille Jnpar~ere resigned to death and bent only on causing
th: maximum of hnerican ensunities before they themfelres were killed. Hendquarters
Company line fought without cessation for 10 hours, holding its pusifion
and permitting no enemy elements to penetrate its lines. For the first 6 hours,
Hendwarfera Compnrw was the only obstacle bctnwen the Jap:~nese force and
vital installations fzrtber tu tile south in the vicinity of Flares Point and Tanaxrag
Harbor. By their determined and teneriuus srrrnd in the face of overwhelming
enemy force, they gave the diricion conlmander time to more up reinforcements
for the rouuteratti~ck. Whcn the cnuntrr;ittnckiug forces from the riivision
reserve renebed tbe right flank of its line, Headnuarlers Company took up
thr attack and, within ri~eil. zone of rrcrion, drove the eneruq. back 500 yards before
nightfall. BC actual count, the nunhcr of enemy dead found in the zone of
advance of the eounternttaeking force was 2,126. The greatest density of these
dead wns found in the zone of advance of the neadquarter8 Company, 105th
lnfantr!! Regiment. The offensive and drfensive combat performance of ail
members of this hcndqnal'ters unit wxs aceornpiished in the highest tradition of
the United States Army. By stnnrliog @ff a ~astl. superior enemy farce, the
Iteadouwlers Con%prrn~. - .. 105th Infantw . .~ Rwinmtf. broke the back of the enemy's
final attack md hy countel.nttacking as a part of the division reserve contributed
materially to bringing JnpwnPse resistilncc to au end on Snignn Island. (Genernl
Orders 21, Henrlqunrters 27th Infantry Division, 18 Uarch IWi, as approved by
the Comm~nding General, United States Anu~ Forces. Middle Pacific.)
5. The T881st Engineer loiation DattaTion is cited for extrilordinars heroism
on Leyte, Piriliplline Islands, from 22 October to 7 December 1944. The 1881st
Engineer loiaiion BattaAon lllurlrrl at Leyre, Philillpine Islands, on 22 October
1944, and went to worlr immediately on the Taclohan airdrom~, an which con-
~truction hncl just bccn started hy at? ~nginper canstl'uetinn hattalion. From
thm mltil completion of the airdrome, these two units worked together with
maximum effieiellcr alld hal.mony. Duriug tlle early phases, enemy zir attacks
were almost contiuuaus and a largc portion was directed at the airdrome. Before
a csable strip was available, mvj- rnrrier airplanes were forced to operate
from it because of the loss anti darunge to cjur cnrriers in the bnttle of byte Gulf.
Undcr the.se difficult and dangerous conditions, the lSBlst Enineer Aviation
Ralialian worked with utmost energy and zeal, b$ conrmtmring every effort
on the sivdrome during Ihe inlcrrols between air nltitcks. The men stayed
on the job during alerts until the rnrmg airplnnes were almost urerheud. Twelve
perccnt casualties were snffered by thc uvit during this job. Tllis airdrome was
the first one avnilnblc for land~based airplanes in the Philippines and, from the
moment the minimlun iengrh of steel rnc~ was laid. the air rrnitic .ms tremendous.
Despite ibis heavy lrnnic and stil? frequent air attacks, the strip, dis~ersals, and
other fncilities w1.e repiClp drvrloged by the outstanding work and efficient
planning oi the 18Slst E?iqiwcr dviation DattaHon. (General Ordcrs 266,

AGO 3730B 6

Company E, the 1st Platoon, Company E, and the 1st Platoon, Company C,
completely surprised the enemy and gained the objective by 0445 without suffering
a casualty. The Japanese reacted violently to this surprim? and by 0603,
Japanese artiiiery and mortar shells started raining on the position. Vicious
machine-gunfire tore up the hill from the front, both flauks, and the rear. The
enemy counterattacked furiously and repeatedly, but was repulsed savagely each
time, at times by bayonets alone Friendly units on the right and left attacked.
trying to come abreast of Company E, but were repulsed. Thus Compaay E and
the ist Platoon of Cmnpanies I7 and C still remained isolated and surrounded,
their strength heing depleted rapidly, yet they fought on with dogged determination
to hold their positions. By 1000, all machine guns, both heavy and light,
and all 60-mm mortars had been knocked out. The day was hot and by nightfall
practicklly 811 water had been consumed. The said men had exhausted thcir
supplies. That night, an attempt was made to send in water, ammunition, and
medical supplies, but the sup~ly column was almost mmpletely annihilated.
Throughout the night, heavy enemy flre continued. The men repelled repepted
Japanese infiltration attempts. Dawn of the second day disclosed that hand
grenades were nil expended nnd the only effective weapons remaining were
rifles and bayonets, yet they clung desperately to thcir position. Fear that they
might bbc overwhelmed by numbers aiane was widespread. Four large-scale
enemy attacks were repnlscd during the day with the support of accurate
Cannon Company and arlillery fire. Adjacent units attacked again on the
second day in an effort to come nbreast of Cornpang E without success. That
night a supply and exacuation party reached them, bringing the first medical
attention anti water the men had rtXceived in 45 hours. Dawn of the third day
found Co11~pany E and ilx attached platoons still clinging to their positions.
Lale at night on the third day, Company E and the 1st PZatnms of Companies
H and C were relieved with 48 men of the original 179 remaining. These units
had driven a mcilre into the great Shuri Defense Line, and shortly thereafter,
the Japanese started their withdrawal from the tremendously strong position
they had fcmght 80 desperately to hold. The extraordinary heroism and dogged
determin:ttion of this llttle band, Comoany E, 1st PI.ato~7, Cornpang II, and
1st Plaloon, Compang 0, 307th Infantrg Regiment. wnlribnted in large measure
to lhe subsequent advance of the entire division and are in keeping with the
highest tl.ariilions of the military ser~ice. (Gcneral Orders 492, Ilcadquarters

platoon of medium tanks in support, G0mpon.g I eneounl.ered the concentrated
fire of the enemy's sl:rongest defense line. This fire came from artillery, motars,
antitank guns, dug-in tanks, and small arms. %'he men of Cwngany I advanced
through the enemy tire until they reached the forward slopes of "Chocolate Drop
Hill." Fire from both flank* and the front inflicted heavy casualties and forced
them to dip in there. IIeavy encmy mortar and artillery fire continued during
the night. At 0200, 16 Jlay, thc Japanese, armed with rifles and knee mortars,

launched a fanatical "Banzai" charge on the semnd platoon. The attack was
repelled and the enemy lost eight men. At O W , Company I again assault63 the
Savagely defended "Chocolate Drop Hill" with three tanks in support, and again
had to go through concentrated artillcry, mortar, antitank, and small-arms fire.
Dis~iayinp a domed -. determination, the men of Conmanu . . I enveloped the hill,
deatruyed two 47-mm antitank guns, two heavy machine guns, two knee mortars,
and used satchel charges to scni numerous caves occu~ied by the enemy. Intense
tire from "Dorothy Ridge." "l?luttup," "Brown," "Three Sisters," and "Grey
Mills" remained so hea~y that Company I was forced to move back to it original
position. After another long night of shelling by the Japanese, the attack was
renewed on 17 May. Twice the men of Company 18lruggied to the top of the hill,
only to he forced back by n numerically superior Japanese force. At 1730 on the
third altack, they flnally captured and held the X!l, killing 23 JaIianesc, destmyilig

hill, which threatened to annihilate Cornpaw I. Company I repulsed the attilck
and killed 86 of the enemy, including 6 officers, orb 1 of whom was found n map of

capture lChocolate Drop Hiil," Company I mas in command of the hill and holding
it TWO days later, Company I captured "Brown Hill," and the main defense

proximity of lhe battalion nosition area. The 80th Field At ttlleru Battalion
distinguished itself in aclion by its extraordinary heroism and exhibited such
mlinntry, determination, and esprit de corps as to make it outstanding in this
engagement. The magnificent courage and devotion to duly by all nlemhers
of the 80th Field Arlillerpi Battalion are a creClit ana inspiiradon to the armed
forces of thc Uuitcd States. (General Orders 148, IIeadquarters GLh Infmtry
Division, 25 July 1945, as approved by the Commander in Chief, United States
Army Forces, Pacific.)
2. The 713th Tank Battalion, Armored Flame Thrower (Prol;isional), is cited
for outstanding performance of duly in action against the cncmy ou ~kinnwa-'*'.'~
Shimn from 9 to 22 June 1946. After eumpleting 70 days of fierce fighting,
during which seemingly impregnable enemy positions nt Ka6-azu and Shuri were
reduced, the 718th Tallk Battalion, Armored Flnmo Thrower (Pr02;isional).
continued forward in the assault of the Yaeju-Dake escarpwcnt, the final and
n10st rugged enemy stronghold. Supporting two Army and two Marine divisions,
the tanks of this battnlion preceded the infantry and advanced under henay
enemy fire and in the face of violent sliieidal counterattacks. In caves and
crevices throvghout the jagged face of the escarpment, the enemy had established
mutually supporting gun positions, which delivered a devastating rolnme
of flrc against thc ndTanciug troops. The bnttalion tanks approached to withiu
RO yards of these fortifled positions and proceeded up the fnce of the escnrp
rnent, burning out all positions ns they progressed. Many times tank crews
wevc forced to dismount under heavy Japanese fire to extricate their tanks, or
to carry the flame gun hose attachment up the fnce of the cliff, so that they
could burn out by hand those enemy pockets which were innecessi1~le to the
tanks. After 4 vicious days of close-in fightiug, during which the tanks fired
a total of 400 missions, the infantry gained the top of the eseal'pment. Conrinning
to spearhead the attack, the flame thrower tanks advanced from crag to
crag and assisted tbe infantry in burning out or destroying the remainder of
the enemy troops on the island. Throughout the assault, detnchmeuts of
Battnlion Headquarters Company and Service Company ahly supported the
tanks by iuruisiling liaison teams to the infantry front line troops and hy
hauling 120,000 galluns of napalm up to the front lines. To conserve time, these
gallant service troops refurlled the tanks under enenry ohsexvation within 300 to
500 yards of the front lines. The aggressive and conrag&mn uae of this
weapon inflicted an estimated 5,000 casualties upon the encmy, reduced our own
casllaities, and played a substantial part in bringing about final victoly. This
meration was the first in which a tank unit eyni~,ped with flame-thrower guns
was used, and the great success in aiding the advance of our troops :!gainst
the determined stand of the Japanese was duc largel~ lo tile cool skill, relent-

less aggressiveness, and indomltshle spirit of the men of the Armored Flame
Thrower Battalion. The courage and perseverance shown by the members of
the 715th Tank Battalion, Smored PLame Thrower (Provisiomal), are worthy
of emulation and reflect the highest traditions of the Army of the United States.

VI..BATTLE HONORS.-As authorized by Erecutire Order 9396 (see. I, WD
Bul. 22, 1M3), supcrseding Executive Order DOT6 (see. 111, WD BUl. 11, 1912),
citntions of the following nnits iu the general orders inrlienld are mnfirmed under
the provisions of section ITr, WD Circular 333,1943, in the name of the President
of the United Stntes as public evidence of desemea horlor anti distinction. The
citations read as follows:
1. The Sd Beltalion, 305th I?i(astrg Rcpiment, is cited for outstanding Pcrformance
of duty in action ag!linst tlrc encmy in brcalriug through the rnuchvnunled
Shuri dcfense line on Okinnwn, Ryukyus Islands, on 1M7 Ma!: 1065.
After 10 days of bitter fighting the Sd Yattalion, 305th I~cJantrff Vcpilrient,
launched an attack against the enemy nexr Shuri Castle on 15 May 1045. The
enemy was numerically superior, determined, and deeply entrenched in a mar& of
caves, tombs, pillbuxes, and rerrtted installations. Despite murderolls fire from
all typs of menpons and rcpcnted eounternttaeks, on 16 May, tl1i.q b,?ltalion
rcachcd a position from which it could dircct an assault against the main Shuri
lint position. At 0215 on 17 any, the battalion launchcd an all-out affrmsive
against this position in a predawn attack. So depleted was the effcctire fighling
strength of the battalion that only 21 rifl?men rcmaincd in the entire battalion.
Cooks, bakers, drivers, headquarters personnel, and pioneers had been pressed
into front line duty. Skillfully taking adrantag of the element of Surprise, the
battalion forced a breach in the Shuri defense line in a riolent baronet assault, eseeuted
under cover of darkness. The cnemy was forced into a withdrawal, which
contributed ultimately to the Jnpnnese evacuation of Shuri Castle. The assault
element doggedly held their captured position agairst increasing enemy reaction
until thc first light of day. Hnrassed by pockets of Japanese hyprtssecl in the surnrise
attack, and exposed to heavy fire, the battalion organized the position. At
dawn, ail s~pportiup weapon: had been brangllt up, the gallantinfantrymen
resumed the atbldi, capturing a dominant ridge which secured our position in the
break made so gallantly in thc cnemy line. So other haltnlion pnrtieipating in
this assault was able to effect a penetration of the enemy main dcfenses on these
dates. Duriug Lhr 2-day action. 707 enemy dead nere counled, 99 caves were
scaled, 7 prisoners of wa were taken, and F light and 6 heavy machine gnus were
dcsbo~ed. Officers and rum of this battalion disliuguished themselres consistently
with great individwil courage, extraordinary heroism, and esemplary Be-
Votiou to duty. ThC action of the Sd Baltalioa, 305th Infanlr~ Hcpimmt, was

2. The Sd Dallalion, 306th Infantry Regiment, is cited for outstanding performnnce
of duty in actiun against the encmy from 29 Aliril to 6 May 1846 on
Okinawa, nyukrus Islands. On 29 April 1945, the Sd Battalion, 306th Inimztry
Regiment occrlpied a defeusive position guarlling the main avenues of approach
from Shnri, scvcral thousand yards to tbc south. In a desperate attcmpt to
eliminate this salient, the Japanese cxpelrded thousands of rounds of heavy

artillery, which lmnnded the position incessantlv, causinn Evere losses. At OaOO
on 3 M& 1945, the enemy launched the first o;a seriesbf major night attacks.
Rollowing an intense preparation of artillery, mortar, and machinegun lire, the
fanaticalenemy assaulted the front Bud flanks of the battalion. Bitter grenade
and bayonet lighting raged until dawn, when the last of the attackers were
annihilated. The enemy renewed his artillery and mortar fire with unprecedented
fury. At 2400, 4 May 1945, a fresh battalion of enemy infantry launched a three
pronged attack againet the sorely depleted Sd Battulioa. The prsonnel of the
battalion mct the foe at point-blank range with fixed bayonets and hand grenades,
killing Iapanese coming at them from the front, flanks, and rear. Outnumbered.
the gallant troops held their ground tenaciously and, in the face of bitler omasition,
denied this highly important tactical locality to the enemy. At dan'n,
hundreds of Japanese were found dead nerosa the entire hnltalion front. The
few remaining were forced to withdraw in confusion, pursued by artilwry, mortar,
and small-arms fire. The stubborn enemy eontinnec3 to harms the position with
heavy fire. No resemes were avnilxble and the situation became deswmte. On
5 May, combat patrols went forward to mop up enemy troops entrenched on the
forward slope of a ridge on the left fiank. Over 100 Japanese were killed and
many machine guns and mortars captured and dcstroycd. Throughout the day
and night, the enemy continued to direct heavy fire on the battalion position.
At 0230, 6 May, the desperate Japanesc launched another vicious attack against
the right Uank and front of the battalion. At 0400, tank-infantry teams assaulted
the gosition. In the face of intense fire, machine mnners - and riflemcn stood
their ground heroically. Rocket-launcher teams, antitank gnuners, and artillery
fue destroyed three Japanese mcdium tanks within 250 yards of the front lines.
Again the dwindling battnlion repnlscd the enemy in furious close-in combat.
When the command post was overrun by infiltrating enemy, the command group
personally fought its way out. In the early morning hours, three aridiiional
Japanese tanks were destroyed by antitank and artillery fire. The attack wns
repulsed with severe losses to the enemy. By this Lime, the hattalion had lost
onethird of its men and had killed over 1,000 Japanese. During the entire
period, the fighting men of the Sd Battalion, 506th Infm~try Regiment, exhibited
- .~ - - . . -
nnwaverinn fortitude and an indomitable flchtine snirit, renulsinn some of the
most severe and determined counterattacks launched by the Japanese on Okinawa.
By its heroic stand, it prevented the enems from recanturinn an imaortant Dosition
and paved the way for the ultimate destruction of the famed Shuri dcffosive
position. The unflinching devotion to duty and superb courage displayed by me
members of the Sd Battalion, JOGth Infantry Regiment, reflect the highest traditions
of the United States Army. (General Orders 71, Headquarters 77th Infantry
Dp@on. 1 March 19-16, as approved by the Commanding General, Vnited
~tate:,+ay Borces, Middle Pacific.)
3,.%tipan1~ A, 30Gth Infantry Reg~ent, WtX InfantryDivision, is cited for
oyfst&nding performnnce of duty in action against the cnemy, dming the period
?.to 11 May 1045, near Urasor Mura, Okinawa, Kyukyus Islands. On 7 May 1945,
domganv A, 806th I%fnfantfv Regiment was assigned the mission of assaulting
"Rocky Ridge," a rocky, cave-infestcd enemy strong point located approximately
1,WO yards south Of Urasoe Xura, Okinawa. Capture of the ridge was of the
Utmost tactical iml3ortanee, because it dominated the defcnse of Shuri, the main
Japanese stronghold on the island. The ridge was protected by a strong enemy
force firmly entrenched in the manc of tunnels and eaves dug into the solid rock.
On the left fiank, it was reinforced by long-rangc rifle, machine-gun, and mortar
AQO 37828

fire Numerous artilleq pieces and slat trajectory weapons located in defiladed
positions in the hllls to the left front could bring accurate and heavy fire on
the hill. To the right front and right finnk, covered and concealed positions
uffered excellent ohservaiian for battcrics of mortars and automatic meapons of
the enemy. At 0503, after a brief artillery preparation, Com~anu A pushed forward
in the assault. The company's ranks were already thinned by casualties
sustained in its three assault landings in the Ryukyus chain and the ferocious
fighting on Okinawa. The spirit of the o5eers and men was high and the
attack moved rapitlly. After an hour and a half of bitter fighting, thc company
reached its intermediate objective, a hill pergeodiculxr to "Rocky Riage." Hcre,
the enemy was in position on the revcrse slope and only by rolling hand grenades
down the hill mas Company A able to clear tt~e way for the main assault on
"Roclin Riclgc." Again the company moved forvard with three plntoons abreast.
The forward elements struck the defcnscs of the ridge almost immediately.
Ditter khtinp ensued acainst - a numerienllp . suDerior force. Men jumped into
-
cares with the enem? and destroyed thcm in desperate hand-to-hand fighting.
At 1030, the initial battle for the hill was won. The rocky terrain offered little
protcclion, but defenses were orgnnize(1 immediately and shelters vere made
of the loose rocks. At 1035, after a terrific mortar and artillery preparation, the
cnemy launchnl his first despernte counterattack. In furious battling, the company
clung tenncioualy to its newly won podlions and drove the enemy hack.
FOP the remainder of the day, dcfensive positions were prepared under eonstant,
heavy mortar and artillery fire. Suppl,< and evacuation were extremely
diffieuIt. So deadly was the enemy rific and mechine-gun fire thnt a man darcd
not expose himself, even for a moment. At the end of the day's Bghting, over
130 of the enemy had been kiile& and 3 hcwy machine guns, 19 LhlG's, 4 knce
morlnrs, a 47-mm, and a 20-mm gun had been captured or destroyed on the position.
That night, repeated conntcrattacks were driven off wilh fighting at pointblank
range. Enemy in tunnels below the company's dcfensive positions
attempted to dislodge the defenders by ex~lloding puwerful charges bcncath
thcm. For 7 days and nights. Company d clung tenneiously to the ridge and
accounted for an additional 250 of the enemy. This, despite the loss of six of
the semi officers in the initial assault and with but four noncommissioned officers
remaining. The regiment, using this ridge as a pivot, was able to a'lvance on
both flank and penetrate the outer defenses of Shuri. The courage, devotion
to duty, and indomitable spirit displayed by the 05cei-s and men of Company A,
806t76 Znfantru Regiment reflect great credit on it and are in kceping with the
highest traditiuns of the military service. (General Orders 70, Headquarters

in the Ticinity of Thaln, 'Iimisia. The 34th B'ieid Artillery Battalion completed
a 100-hour forced march from Tiemcen, bigeria, covering a distance of 73- miles
in bitter weather over tortuous and almost impassable mountain roads on the
aiaht of 21 Bebruary 1943. Without prior reconnaissance or ademate mans.
linrassed by enemy fire, and forced to maneuver through a congested, narrow
road, nercrtheless, the battalion occupied battle ~ositions, set up communications,
established observation posts, and was ready to deliver fire by daylight. Although
enemy forces were eutrenched only 2,800 yards distant and there were
only three platoons of friendly infantry in front of the artiliery, the unit maintained
constant and steady fire with such deadly effect that enemy tank units
were dispersed and driven back. The cool, determined manner in which the 34th
Pield Artillery Battaiion entered into battle after an almast incredible forced
march contributed in great measure to the defeat of the enemy's attempt to break
through the Thalia defile. The gallant entry into battle and the heroism with
which the volume af fire was maintained; despite terrific enemy fire, are in
keeping with the highest traditions of the American military service

heroism in battle on 21,22, and 23 Eebrunry 1943 in repelling an attack by vastly
superior forces which mere attempting to break through the Allied lines in the
vicinity of Thala, Tunisia. The 84th Field Artillery BettoZion completed a
100-hour forced march from Tlemcen, Algeria, covering a distance of 735 miles
in bitter weather over tortuous and almost impassable mountain roads on the
night of 21 February 1W. Without prior reconnnissanee or adequate maps,
harassed by enemy fire, and forced to maneuver through a acaugcsted, narrow
rod, nevertheless, the battalion occnpied batllc positions, set up communiea-
tions, established observation posts, and was ready to deliver fire by daylight.
Although enemy forces were entrenched only 2,5W yards diatant and there were
only three platoons of friendly infantry in frolit of thc artillery, the unit main-
tained eonstant and steady fire with such deadly effect that enemy tank units
were dispcrsed and driven hack. The cool and determined manner in which the
84th Picld Artillery Battalien entered into battle after an almost incredible forced
mal.cI1 contributed in great measure to the defeat of the enemy's attempt to
break throngll the Thalia defile. The gnllnnt entry into battle and the heroism
Wth which the volume of fire was maintained, despite lerrific enemy fire, are
in keeping Sith the highest tr:rditions of the Americon military ssrviee.

pr,roviai+of sectlon 1V, WD Circular 333, 1943, in the name of the President of

reads as follows:
cit3f
Ed Battalion, S5lst Infant?y Regiment, is cited iar outstunding perfomof
duty in action during the period 27 September to 1 October 1944, near
Ba"
CWp~ll0, Italy. The Sd Battalia was assigned the mission of wresting the
strategically important Mt. Capello from a determined and numerically superior
AGO 3883B

German force. In the face of a withering hail of fire from all tmes of weapons,
the Ed Battalion launched its altack down the barren, forward slopes of 31t.
Guasteta. Italy, eliminating a strong reverse slope German position in four violent
assaults chamcterized bv bitter fire fzhts - and vicious hand-to-hand erenade - duels.
Although outnumbered, the ~oldiers of this organization maintained their cnptured
position, desgite ruthless enemy counterattacks grccedcd by intense artiilery
and mortar barrages. Although suffering from sercrc losses and confronted
by fanatical enemy resistance, the courageous o5cers and men of the Zd EattaTiolr
again resumed a full scale offensive and, advancing by infiltration, neutralizing
resistance by furious hand-to-hand fighting within the German positions, gained
a foothold on the barren slopes of Mt. Cnpcllo. Setting a commendahlc example
of cuolness and cfficicncy in the face of great danger, the 2d Battalion fought
grimly, tenaciously maintainineits foothold, despite the murderous enemy fir?
and wave after ware of freah enemy assault troops. In a notable display of
combat skill, tcamnork, and determination, the men of ihe Ed Battalion, because
of shortage of ammunition, resorted to captured German machine guns and
German grenades to meet the encmy onslanghis. Utilizing personoel from
battalion headquarters at riflemen, beemme of its heavily de~leted effeclire
strength, the bnttalion, in a final all-out assault, drore the enemy from hlt.
Capello, retaining this strategic terrain feature, despite final dcspcrate enemy
counterattacks. The timely cag!nre of this key enemy position frustrated violent
enemy efforts to hold terrain of vital importance. A dangerous enemy penetmtion
between the 3Xst Infantry Regiment and another hard-pressed infnntry
regiment on the right was averted by the heroic determination, self-sacrifice, anrl
unfniling devotion to duty of the officers and men of the Ed Baltnlion, S5lat Infentry
Regiment. The rolorous periormance of the 2d Battalion, 551st Infantry
Regiment, reflects great credit on the ~ersonnel of the regiment and upon the
armed forces of the United States.

BATTLE HONORS.-As anthorized by Executive Order 9396 (see. I, WD Bul.
provisions of &tion IV, WD circular 333, 1043, in the name of the President
of the.&ted States as nublic evidence of deserred honor and distinction. The
& Battalion was ordered to attack throughthe 2d Battalion's positions on the
southern edge of Oberhoffen and seize the remainder of the stubhornly defended
town. Under cover of darkness, Company C executed a brilliant flanking
maneuver and advanced stealthily to a point about 300 yards north of a fork in
the southern part of town, where Company A had been halted by fierce resistance.
Striking swiftly and aggressively, elements of Company C surprised the hostile
foree, fought through to contact Company A at the fork, and, in scoring a
decisive victory over the German troops, broke the deadlock in this sector. On
the following day, as Company C pressed its advantage and drove toward the
northeast section of Oberhoffen, the enemg launched a violent counterattack with
live Royal Tiger tanks and an estimated 100 SS troops. The men of Company C
not oniy held their ground in the face of the hostile onslau~ht and sueeessfully
repelled the counterattack, but also began pressing forward with renewed
aggressiveness. When the company wa,s relieved on 3 February, it had killed and
captured more than 150 Germans and had completely cleared the northeast scction
of Oherhoffcn. Four days later, the 1st Battalion relieved another unit flghting
to clear the strongly fortified northwest prtion of the town. Ihdy in the
morning of 9 February, Company C passed through Company A and, afLer intense
house-to-house lighting, cleared all the houses in this sector. In the face of a
determined counterattack by approximately 100 enemy infantrymen, elements of
Company C were forced to withdraw a short distance, but, on the following day,
attacked again and retook the lost houses, securing this section of Oberhoffen.
During this Bday action, the men of Company 0, l&l Infantry Regiment, killed
and captured approximnteiy 176 Germans and helped smash the enemy's last hold
wn, thus ending the long, fierce battle for Oberhoffen. (General Orders

of attacking - at night . across exwsed terrain to cauture the town of Bitschhoffen.
France. This town was known to he well-defended and surrounded by extensive
mine flelds. The men of Company K attacked twice, each time suffering heavy
lOESeS from mines and enemy defensive fires, and each time reorganizing for
another assault. On the third assault, elements of the company attacking up to
and through a mine field. succeeded in enterine the town. Overwhelmine German

the Commanding General, 36th Infantry Division.)
3. The 1st Battlion, 142d Infantry Regiment, 86th Infmtru Division, is cited
for heroism, gallantry, and ontstanding achievement in combat on 12 December
3 1944 at Selestat, France. The 1st Battalion was thinly spread on a broad front
in defense of the important communications center, Selestat. Just before
dawn, a heavy artillery concentration preceded a largescale enemy attack
against the city. During the bitter fighting which ensued, hostile troops gained
control of a factory area on the north'flank, seized a half-mile stretch of houses
in the northeast corner of the city, and succeeded in isolating small groups of
the battalion, While the isolated units foueht - valiantly to rep1 the attackers,
other units of the battalion counterattacked. Only by blasting each house with
tank fire and assaulting the strong paints with small arms, grenades, and bayonets
were the battalion troops ibfe to dislodge the Germans. The fight for
Selestat raged furiously throughout the morning, but by midafternoon the hostile
tIWODS were beinz - forced out of the cih. At the battle's end, the 1st BattaNon
had killed more than 200 enemy soldiers, captured 333 prisoners, and, including
others known to be wounded, inflicted a tptal of a~~roximately 700 easualties on
the attacking force estimated at 1,WO combat effec&v. The courage, individual
aggressiveness, and distinguished heroism displayed by the ofacers. and men
of the 1st Battalion, led Infantry Reomat, 36th. Infantry Ddvisia, resulted in
the repulse of a strong enemy attack which, ii successful, would have severed the
Strasbourg-Selestat highway and opened the way for an attack against the
rear of the Seventh Army. (General Orders 160, Headquarters 86th Infantry
Division, 1 May 1945, as approved by the Commanding General, 36th Infantry
Division.)
4. The Bd Battaldon, 1418: Infantry Regiment, for extraordinary heroism,
gallantry, and esprit de corps from 7 to 19 December 1844 in France. During
the 14 days of this action, the Bd Battalion held the most important single terrain
feature on the exposed right flank of the 36th Infantry Division. The enemy
hurled thousands of rounds of artillery and repeated infantry assaults against
the battalion positions and each attack was thrown hack with disastrous losses.
On 12 December, the Germans infiltrated approximately 'iOO men to a point 2
kilometers behind the front lines and attacked the rear installations. By desperate
fighting, the headquarters personnel of this battalion drove the enemy
back and inflicted severe casualties. For the next 4 days, units of the battalion,
cut off on three sides, withheld all enemy assaults and prevented the Germans
from overrunning their positions. On 11 December, despite having lost 40 p&cent
of its flghting strength, the battalion launched a tank-infantry attack against
the center of German resistance. With outstanding aggressiveness, they successively
stormed the three towns from which the enemy had mounted his entire
offensive. The success of this brilliant attack, coupled with the overwhelming
easualties inflicted on the enemy, deflnitely ended the wemy's offensive capabilities
in the area. More than 600 prisoners of war were taken by the Sd Battalion,
l4let Infantry Reflimeat. 150 of whom were wounded, and at the conclusion
of the operation, moie than @XI eenmy dead were found in the battalion's
area. (General Orders 176, Headquarters 36th Infantry Division, 16 May 1945,
as approved by the Commanding General, 36th Infantry Division.)
5. The Sd Battalion, 48d Infantry Regiment, for extraordinary heroism,
gallantw, and outstanding achievement in combat from 24 November to 3 Deeem:
ber I044 inFrance. Ordered to seke the vital German supply base of St. Marig
AQO 89246

am-lines, which controlled the St. Marie Pass and the main road leading to the
Ribeanville and Colmar sectors, the Sd Battalion was split into two forces.
While one reinforced company attacked frontally, encountering a strongly forti-
fled road Mock, two other rifle companies executed a hold flanking maneuver and
took the German garrison in the town completely by surprise. After clearing
hostUe troops from the area and capturing 170 prisoners, the battalion pressed
across precipitous mountain terrain to seize the commanding ground around
Koenigsbourg Chateau. Theo, spearheading the divisiun's advance, Sd Battalion
troops drove relentlessly forward toward Kintzheim and Chatenois, the flrst
towns to the east in the Rhine lowland. While part of the battalion battered
strong enemy defenses in Kinteheim under intense mortar, tank, and small-arms
fire, the remainder ot the organizalion occupied high ground overlooking Chat*
nois and directed the artillery on lucrative targets in the valley. During the
night of 30 November, the enemy was forced to withdraw from both towns and
the battalion was swiftly reorganized at Chatenois in preparation for an attnck
against a designated sector of the important railroad and communication center
of Selestat. Despite heavy enemy shelling and stubborn resistance on the out-
skirts of town, elements of the battalion fought from house to house, neutralizing
hostiie strong points, and successfully elearing the assigned sector of Selestat.
As a result of the determination and aggressiveness displayed bg every man, the
Sd Battalion, 14dd Infantry Regiment, opened tho way through the Vosges to the
Rhine River Valley and, by this action, accomplished a feat which had previously
been considered impossible. (General Orders 175, Headquarters 36th Infantry
Division, 15 May 1915, as approved by the Cormnanding General, 36th Infantry
Division. )
6. The Sd Battah, 14Sd Znfantw Regiment, for heroism, gallantry, and out-
standing achievement in combat from 26 to 29 August 1944 near Ia Coucourde,
France, With the mission of attacking, occupying, and defending thestrategic
Magranan Ridge overlooking the only available epcnpe route of the German 19th
Army, which was being rapidly pushed to the north, the members of the Sd Bat-
taMon attacked the well-defended enemy positions on the hillside in the face of
intense small-arms and automatic fire and bitterly fought its way to the tog to
overcome all enemy resistance. The following day, when attacked by an enemy
force of battalion streogth, uzlits of the bnttalion fought valiantly to repel the
attackers and idict upon them an estimated 30 percent dead, while other units
of the battalion courageously beat off successive enemy tank and infantry at-
tacks from the north. The members of the battallon directed thousands of rounds
of mortar 5re into the enemy, blocking the highway with the debris of destroyed
vehicles and trucks. The enemy, determined to dislodge the battalion from its
tenaciously held positions, on 28 August 1944 attacked with strong t om and
each time the battalion drove the enemy hack, inflicting tremendous casualties
uwn the attackers. On 29 August - 1944. the enemy. -. in overwhelmine - numbers.

in hisattempt to advance to the north (General Orders 398, ~eidquarters 33th.
Infnlltr~ Division. 12 Sentember 1945, as avuroved . by the Commanding General,
36th Infantry Division.)
7. 111th Engineer Combat Battalion with 283526 Engineer Combat Companv
(attached), for heroism, esprit de cor~, and extraordinary achievement in combat
from 23 October to 11 Kovember 1944 near Bruyeres, France. When it was decided
to attack through the Foret Dominiale De Champ and outflank the German
forces in the Laveline-Corcienx Valley, this unit was called upon to build a su~ply
road out of a mountain trail whielr rosc 1,000 feet above the valley floor and
progress through a dense forest to the di5ision objective. Working directly be.
hind the assault elements, the men of this unit labored unceasingly to build and
maintain this road. Artillery flre crashed into the trees, showering shrapnel on
the engineers, who had no protectlon as they worked. Enemy snipers infiltrating
hehind our lines caused casualties and some of the engineers engaged these
Germans in a Ere flsht - while the others cantinned to work. Tanks were called
up and, though these heavy vehicles tore the bottom from the trail, the engineers
were able to kee~ it open so that the constant flow of supplies to the nine infantry
battnlioos engaged in the action and the constant evacuation of dead and wounded
was never interrupted. Corduroy and planking were used, hundreds of enemy
mines were removed, and gravel and paving stones were hauled from the surrounding
country side. At no time during the 19 days of this action did the work
cease. Even though the engineers sustained 57 casualties in dead and wounded,
thev . caDtured - 27 German nrisaners and killed many more as thw worked. Almost
continuous rain and snow made their task more difficult, and yet by sheer determination
and grit, these men accomplished thiy magnihcant feat of engineering.
Without this road, the divibion operation eouid not have succeeded and it is due
to the extraordinary achie~ement of the 1llthEfigineer Cornoat Battalion with the
2S%d Baoineer Combat Comaanu - - (attached) that the 30th Division was able to
outtlank the enemy farces in the Laveline-Corcieux Valley and parsue a disorganized
enemy to the banks of the Meurthe River. (General Orders 425, Headquarters
30th Infantrg Division, 1 October 1W3, as approved by the Oommandlng
General, 36th Infantry Division.)

on the enemy. Firing Pram his hip, moving through vidous cross-fire, which
ripped through his clothing, he charged the nearest pillbox, killing six. Going

running out of ammunition just as he reached the pisltion. He grasped his
empty machine gun by the barrel and, in a violent onslaught, killed the crew.

into the left of the battalion. Only through outstanding courage, skili, and
fearless initiatire, demonstrated by all members of the Sd Battalion, both indivi~lniills
and as a closely knit conlbat team, was the unit able Lo repulse the
attack. -4rtiilery, lnaclline~gun, rifle, and bazooka fire deterled the enemy attack
which was resumed the following doy Despite infiltraliug enemy infantrymen's
fire, the Confusion that ensued, and lack of communications, the 3d Batlelion
sncceSsIully disengnged Uie enemy armor and infantry and covered tbe
withdrawal of the entire regiment. In the 3 t~mn~llnons days of fighting, the $d

0% hvraneires and to split Allied forces in France. In the fogenshrouded early
morning hours, the hostile troops made their first effort with paraly5ing rapidity
and crmhing, numerical superiority. Many of the company positions were overrun
and the line of defense was established at the regimental command post
Enemy tanks got close to the command pmt and a company of hostile infantrymen
infiltrated behind, threatening to encircle it. Displaying outstanding courage
md a tenacity of purwse, all troops of this group, including administrative personnel,
fought herafcally and dispersed the infantrymen to the rear, while others
destroyed the leading enemy tank with careful bazooka fire. Cpon learning
of the seriousness of the general situation, the troops voluntarily moved to the
front lines where, far the day, the? fought with the front line companies nod

As they charged up the hill on the Par side, the pillboxes opened up with devastating
cross-fire. Mortar and artillery fire had v&y little etlect on these concrete
and steel structures, but direet-fire meagous had widened the embrasures.
Special assault groups crawled close to the pillboxes and burned the enemy out
with &me throwers, while, in others, they were forced out by accurate rille fire
and the use of hand grenades. Slowly the strong paints iu the line were reduced
and, by. nightfall, the objective of the battalion had been secured. Though

President of the United States as public evidence of deserved honor and distinetian.
The citations read as follows:
LThe 1st Battalion, 138th Infantry Reghat, is cited for outstanding performance
of duty in action against the enemy in the Caraballe Mountains, Lueon,
Philippine Idands, from 23 Narch'to 30 Nay 1945. Over what has been otEciall~
referred to as "some of the bloodiest fighting in the history of the United
Ntates Army," the 1st Battalion, durin~ this period, attacked and vanquished
the fanatical encmy entrenched in seemingly impregnable fortifications mtmlling
the ViilR Verde TraiL So long had the enemy been in preparation bf Its cave
fortifications, so elaborate had been their orepnrations, and so skiilfuliy wethese
enemr defensive uositious located, that the entire ooeration for the 1st
BaftaZion consisted of assaults upon fortified positions. In the reduction oi
this force's forward area near Salacsac Pass Number 2, the 1st Battalion killed
TO0 Japanese, demolished innumerable care positions, and captured countless
enemy weapons. On Xay 1045, the 1st Battalirm, after nearly complete replacement
of its personnel because of eombnt casuulties, began the attack on Hill
608, the commanding ground In the division sector and tbe focal point of the
elaborate enemy defensive system. By skillful and courageous use of the flamethrowers,
demolition charge6 and hand grenades, the assault farces literally
blasted and buried enemy troops to annihilation as the battalion fought its way
ento the hill. Because of the clever emolwment of the enemy's weauons for
mutual fire support in breadth and 3epth. the most exact coordinwn between
elements of the battalion mas required. xany times flre direction was given by
forward assault groups for adjoining attackers, in order to overcome the
asual poor observation. Often during the assault on Hill 508, the attackers
found that the Japanese tunnels and underground oositions extended completdr - -
ihrough ridges, all of which were virtually-inrulnerable to bombs and artillery.
After 0 days of constant assault on the hill mass, during which the Jspnese
made innumerable counterattacks. the 1st Battalion overwhelmed the entire
MU to complete the annihilation of the Sampel force. Upon examinatlon of the
conquered fortress, it was found that the main cave was approximately 200

feet long, wltB numerous compartments leadlng from the main tunneL The
let Battalion sufPered BOB combat casualties in this extremely costly battle for
control of this sector of the Villa Verde Trail area. The 1st Battalion fought
against the enemy's key positions and his most determined troops, killing more
than 1,400. Despite the casualties and adverse condltions, the otlicers and men
of the 1st Battalion. Id8th Infantrg Regiment, never wavered from their determination
to destroy the enemy and complete an extremely dimcult mirsioa
(General Orders 31, J3eadquarters 32d Infantry Division, 15 February 1246, as
approved bithe Commanding Geueral, Sixth Army.)
2. The 43d Cavalry Reoonnaissance Troop (Mechanized) is cited for outstanding
performance of duty in action against the enemy on Lumn, Philippine Ialande.
during the period 12 March to 1 May 1945. At the outset of the battle to torn
the southern flank of the Shimbu Line, east of Manila, this unit was given the
mission of reconnaissance and protection of the right &uk of the 43d Infantry
Division, covering the area between the division's flank and the east shore of
Lagnna de Bay. By the aggressive employment of both motor and foot patrols,
the troow ascertained exactly the disDostion of enemy forces facing it. Increasing
the activity and apgressiveness of its patrols and employing a battery
of field artillery in its supuort, the troop develo~ed its ~atrolling. with mCh
rigor that the enemy, upon being engaged, withdrew under heavy small-arms
and artillery flre and abandoned several towns along the north shore of Lagone
de Bay. This withdrawal opened a road net which later enabled a regimental
combat team, screened by this troop, to sweep into the Santa Maria Valley, turn ,
the sooth flank of thc Shimbu Line, clear the enemy from the west shore of La-
gunn de Bay, and contact an adjacent division to the south. During the battle,
this Unit sueeessfully patrolled over 75 square miles of mew-held territory ln
/ 16 days, forced the abandonment of several occupied barrios, ns well as a road
net rital to future operations, and cnptured 6 Geld pixes, 6 mortars, 8 vehicles,
3 flame throwers, and a quantity of small arms, food, and ammunition. The
troop killed 84 Japanese and captured 6, with a lass to itself of only 1 mnu
wounded. The courage, aggressive fighting, and the results obtained by the
4% Cavalry Reconnaissance Troop (Jiechanised) contributed materially to the
success of this operation. (Gxcrnl Orders 245, Headrlnarters Sixth Army. 11

citation of the following unit in the general orders indicated is conflrmed under
the provisions of section IV, WD Circular 333, 1943, in the name of the President
of the United States as public evidence of deserved honor and distinction. The
citation reads as follows: I
The Ed Battalion. (Reinforced), 47th Infantry Regiment, is cited for conspicuous
battle action and outstanding p~rformance of duty during the period 2
to 5 April 1945. The town of Oberkirrhea. Germany, one of the key points in
the enemy escape route and so situated that it controlled the road net vital to
the enemy communications and supply. was ansigned as an objective to the
Zd Battalion (Reinforced) and at Om hours, 2 April 1945, the battalion Jumped
off to sei~e this objective. Advancing over 7 miles of diacult, hilly, and expo&
terrain and under intense srrall-arms and motar fire along the entire route, the
battalion, Company G leading, passed through Weiminghnusen and ran into
heavily fortifled positions, nnd, aftcr an extremely hitter and aggressive handto-hand
flght, cleared the woods with the following results: 30 enemy dead, 8
enemy wounded, and 52 captured. The battalion continued onward with supporting
machine-gun and tank fire from the 2d Platoon, 746th Tank Battalion.
though still under intense enemy small-arms and now artillery flre, and entered
Vewald, where Company G, under direct tire from three Mark IV tanks and
artillery, dnwe the enemy from .the town and caused the tanks to withdraw,
after a hand-to-hand, house-to-house struggle, which caused the enemy the following
casualties: 10 enemy dead, and 40 captured. The advance, which now
Came under heavy artillery and self-propelled-gun flre, continued to the abjective,
where, after an intense artillery barrage, Companies E and F advanced
Over exposed terrain, whieh was under deadly emall-arms, mortar, artillery,
sew-propelled, and point-blank fire from five erlemy tanks, entered the town at
1500 hours, and, bs 18DO hours, cumpletels cleared the town of enemy, after a
bloody hand-to-hand encounter. An enemy counterattack, composed of 200
infantrymen and 6 tanks, was launched at 1W hours, which overran part of
Company E and penetrated two-thirds through town, isolating 2 platoons of
Company E. At this Point, the battalion railed for, and received, all available
artillery fire from the 84th Field Artillery Battalion and Cannon Company, 47th
Infantry Regiment, on its own positions, whieh inflicted many easualtiea upon
the enemy. Company B then launched a vigorous atpack, which succeeded in
making contact with Company E. The lines became very fluid, with enemy
remaining in scattered groups in the town. Preparations were made for ex.
pected counterattacks, including the laying of mines by the 1st Platoon, Com-
Pany B, 15th Engineer Battalion. At 03.W hours the following morning, the
enemy launched another sttack, consisting of 200 infantrymen and R tanks, in
a last deeperate effort to drive the battalion from the town. Three platoons
AGO 51OB--Sent. 706668'-4%

were overrun in this attack and enemy tanks penetrated to the center of town.
Bazooka teams destroyed 3 of the enemy tanks from a range of 20 yards and
tankdestroyer flre from the 2d Platoon, 899th Tank Destroyer Battalion.
accounted for Tor 1 more. Fierce and vicious hand-to-hand fighting and the
extreme aggressireness of the men of the battalion caused the enemy to with-
draw in wild disorder, leaving 78 captured, many wounded, and the town safely
In hand. During the period 2 to 5 April 1945, the 2d Battalion (Reinforced).
47th infantry Regiment, assaulted and captured 3 towns, took 270 prisoners
and hundreds of small arms and automatic weapons, destroyed 4 enemy tanks,
and completely annihilated 1 battalion of infantry and elements of 2 other bat-
talions. During this period, the battalion operated without flank protection on
either flank, suffered numerous casualties, which were e\-acuated by Company
B, 9th Medical Battalion, crossed more than 13 miles of heavily defeaded and
ditUCUlt terrain, and engaged and annihilated n fanatical stubborn enemy by
a mogniflcent display of gallantry, cowage, and devotion to duty. (General

@mpany H, 397th Infantry Regiment, is cited for outstanding accomplishment
in combat on 8 and 9 January 1945 in the vicinity of Rimiing, France. Under
the pressure of a savqely prosecuted at,taek by numerically superior hostile forces,
which forced back adjacent elements, Company H staunchly held its ground,
threw back aasault after assault, and, by its gallant and unyielding defense,
prevented the encirclement of the battalion by the enemy. The initial hostile
attack in the night by infantry mounted on tanks was dispersed by the deadly
fire of the company's heavy machine guns and mortars, and subsequent daylight
tank-infantry attacks were also repulsed with heavy lasses to the enemy. Attempts
at infiltration by hostile soldie~s searing American parkas were thwarted
and the opposing riflemen killed or forced to withdraw. Sixty-three prisoners
were captured and an estimated four hundred casualties inflicted upon the attackers
in the heroic action in which every member of Company H, 3#7th Infantry
Regiment, reflected great credit on himself, his company, and the Army of the
United States. (General Orders 155, Headquarters 100th Infantry Division,

Presdynt of the United States as public evidence of deserved honor and rlistin&
fi&& he citations read as follows:
,;.;-I. The 1st Battalion, 897th Il~fantw Regiment, is cited for outstanding ne-
t;,, eomplishment in combat during the wried 5 to 11 April 1045, in the vicinity
5.2. ' of Hcilbronn. Germany. Crossing the Neckar River by assault boat under heavy
fire, the 1st Hattalion secured a bridgehead in the face of unyielding resistance
and inaugurated its block-by-block, house-by-house, and even room~by-room
conquest of the key rail city of IIeilbronn. Deadly cross-fire from automatic
wenpons emplnced in rubble heaps and cellars of ruined buildings slowed the
attack: snipers in countless vantage points constantly harassed our troans; and
thickly wooded hills on three sides afforded the enemy perfect observation for
the direction of ail types of artillery Bre. Yet despite fanatical resistnnce,
the 1st Battalion continued its implacable advance, repulsing repeated tank-
iufmtry counterattacks and destroying group after group of infiltrating enemy
infantry. Supporting armor and tank destroyers were sped across the river
by a hastily installed pontoon bridge, which was as quickly demolished by nrtiller~
Grc; casualties were evacuated and supplies brought forward by ferry under
cootinuous shelling: and on 11 April, after 7 days of the most savagely prosecuted
fighting on the entire western front, the 1st BattaUon, 897th Znfantru Regiment,
~i~.tu;?lly completed Its capture of the city, because of the individual bravery
aco hn-sent. ?05568'-46

of its menbere and the esprit ae corm of the orgaditlos reflecting the
highest traditiws of the military service. (Genera Orders 260, Headquarters,
100th Infantry Division, 20 September 1945.)
2. The Pd Battallon, 897th Infantry RegiFat, is cited for outstanding accomplishment
in combat during the period 4 to 12 April 1945, at Heilbronn, Germany.
On 4 April the &d Battalion launched its frontal assault against Heilbronn,
key German rail center and defensive bastion of the Xeelrar River line. Ferrsing
assault forces across the Kecknr under intense concentrations of artillery
and mortar shelling as nlcli as small-arms flre, ndrance elements overran entlenched
enemy pasitions on the east bank, inflicted heavy casualties, and established
a precarious bridgehead. For I consecutive days, the 8d Battolion
then fought its may fnrwxzcl street-by-strcet, bonse-bs,-house, and even roamh5--room,
overcoming fanatical enemy resist:tnee and repulsing caunierattilck after
counternttack as the enemy struggled dcsBerately to hold Heilbronn at all costa.
Encmy artillery fire on dominating- hills snrrounding the city pounded the river
~.rossill:: site with unnhated savagery, prercnting the bridging of the Rtrerrln
nod making it necessary to ferry supplies and casualties across the Kerkar
throll8hout the bottle. Attempts to float armor across the river failed whm
improvis?d rafts capsized, and lacking tank support, the Zd Battalion doggedly
inched its way forward until, on 11 April, flnal remnants of the defending forces
were routed from high grauud behind the city. Thus the Zd Battalion, 397
Infmtru Eeoimeflt, by dint of resolute, unfaltering courage displayed by every
ma.u and the perft2ct coordination of all elements, crushed fanatical enemy re-
Sisllnce, brmched the formidable Necltar defense line, and made possible the
aulwwent drive into Austria. (General Oracrs 260, Headquarters lOOth In.

under intense enemy artillery, mortar, machine-gun and automatic-weapons fire,
the 1st Battalion, after 3 hours of effort, drove acrhss a trail circling the base of
the hiil-mass. A withering, 45 minute artillery preparation at this paint proved
ineffective against the deep, conerete- and log-covered enemy bunkers built into
rhe side of the hills, and It soon became evident that basic infantry assault was
the only feasible method for drivim the enemy from their pasitlona In a fierce,
close-in, small-arms fire fight, which increased in iury as they climbed the prc

positioos. At dark, the enemy finally withdrew. leaving the 18t Battalion in POW

1. Headquarters 69th Composite Whg md the 526th, SeBth, and 99% Troop
Canier Snuwdrons are cited for outstanding performance of duty from 1 to 30
September 1946. During this period, the 6gth Composite Wing was charged
with a number of varied missions, including supply an8 wacuation by air of
misoner of war internment camns, air transuort of American military units,
ferrying of supplies and equinrnent of widely scattered bases in China, mtfiaiona
of mercy, and wial transport flights to distant areas in French Indo-China,
Cbina, and Mnnrhuria, where local conditions were unsettled and where the
snallty of rereption by the Japanese was as yet undetermined. These misslons
were assigned to the 326th. JBSth, and SSPd Troop Carvier Rquadrma. Though
handicappd operationally by a transition from C47 to 0-40 type aircraft dur-
ing the month and undergoing several changes, these squadrons eridenced ex*
tional energy and initiative in performing more than the dnties assigned them.
Hampered frequently by inadequate unloading and servicing facilities and fly-
ing through uunprcdietahlc weather over rugged terrain, the three squadrons
flew a total of over 12,500 hours, transprting 5,346.9 tons of personnel and
equipment vital to the success of the United States armed forces in this theater.
A daily average of 27.8 loaded trips completed was maintained wr day. and
throughout the month of September, 4,218 sorties were accomplished. Tonnage
transported mas 124 percent of that committed. &cause of the fact that per-
sonnel for loading was inndeqnnte at mme stations, in many cnses aircrews
mlonded and loaded their own aircraft, sometimes disassembling heavy equip
ment on their own initiathe. Numerow changes in schedule men, reqnired each
day because of alteration in priorities of air lifts, often neeessitnting reloading
and rescheduling. Despite these handicaps, IIFadq%artm 69th Cmnposite Wing
and the S$Gth, Sgb'th, and SSEd Troop Carrier Squadrons performed all missions
assigned them with such distinction as to contribute substantially to the aeeom-
plishment of the mission assigned the Tenth Air Force. The success of these
organientious in attaining and surpassing the difficult objectives allotted them is
evidence of the energy and industry pnt forth bg all personnel assigned. The
outstanding performance of duty of these organizations has been of exceptional

benefit to the American armed forces in China and reflects credit in the highest
depee on the armed forccs of the United States. (Gmeral Orders 393, Head-
.gWrters, Tenth Air h'orce, 1 November 1915.)
,%i. Comflanv F, lZ3d Inlantw Regiment, is cited for outstandin,. performance
duty in action against the enemy on R'orthern Lnzon, Philippine Islands. On
22 April 1915, Company F, 1236 InFantry Repimolt, was assigned the mission of
;j attacking and seieing u high i.ug:cd ridge approximately 1,W yards north of
Mt. bmboy, Mountain Province, Xorthern Luaon, Philippine Islands. This ridge
provided the enemy with a key defensive position on the road to Ilnguio, and
\\-as SO lo~~ll~d as to place the encmy in n pxition whieh enabled them to cut
the supply lines of our advancing regiment. Moving out of its position on
hlt. Cnlugong, thc men of Cornpan11 F advanced their way up and down steep
S~OPCS and cliffs. By noon, the men were near exhaustion, water was nearly
gone, and thm was no means of r~suppIy. At this point, Company F began to
encounter cnemy resistance, which increascd with mounting ferocity as our
tloops drew closer to the enemy position. Approximately one-third of the campan]:
hnd become casualties from cnemy fire. Realizing the supremc importance
cf their mission, the men of Companlj F refused to give up and they gallnntly
continued pushing on toward their objective. With the knowledge of no arlil-
1elT support available, beemlse of failure of communications, the men of Com-
penu F, completely cahaustcd, pushcd to mithin 300 yards of their objective.
Closing with the enemy, the men of Com~nnu F completely annihilated the encmy
and seizcd the ridge. That night at 2200, the full fury and power of the Japanese
mere again turned on Company F, when the cnemy launched a vicious
countcrattack on the company position, and, killing or wounding all our men on
the north side of the company's perimeter, succeeded in wnetmting our ~ositions.
Men rushed from other sections of the perimeter to attempt to fill the
gap and, after 3 hours of the bitterest fighting, the enemy was annihilated.
Throughout the remainder of the night, the gallant mcn of Conzpanw F clung
tenaciously to their positions, despite continued attacks by the enemy. In the
morning, the tired men arose from their fos holes and, in a final concerted
effort, wipcd out the remaining enemy in the areas, thus reopening the supply
lines of the adjacent regiment. The determination, unflinching devotion to
duty, and superb courage displayed by each man of Company F, l2Sd Infant~y
Regiment, contributed immeasurably to the success of operations in Northern
Luzon and are in keeping with the highest traditions of the armed forces of
the United States. (General Orders 358, Headquarters 33d Infantry Division,
18 December 1945.)
3. Company R, lZ3d Inlantry Regiment, is cited for outstanding perfornlnnee
, . cf duty in action against the enemy during the period 23 to 25 April 1945 on
, Northern Luzan, Philippine Islands. On 23 April 1945 under a sweltering sun,
. . Company R, 1236 Infantry Regiment, began its tortuous battle up the steep
'
slopes of Hill 4900. At approximately ane-third of the distance to the tap, the
cempany emuntered intense enemy fire. Although suffering rasualties, the tired
fighting men of Company R fought on stubbornly, but were rompellcd ultimately
to give - ~raund. - Withdrawing . a short di~tanw, a wick reorganieation w5S
effected and once again the men arose and moved forward to assault the enemy
position, but again they were halted by the fiercest typc of resistance and were
CompellQd to dig in. A reconnaissance revealed no other route to the objective.
so, on the following morning, although suffering heavy casualties from enemy
fire, heat, exhaustion, and lack of nnffieient food and water, Company R,
with grim determination, launched a third and ferocious attack on the enemy
AGO 635B

psition. With every man in the colnpxny fighting his way up the extremely
narrow ridge, even t1,ough an alarming number of ,men became casualties, those
remrriniug stubbornly continued the advance, and, in a final coneerterl effort,
rated the enemy and seized his positions. Having gained this initial advantage,
the men refused to stop. After a hasty reorg;lnizalion, Gomyany G continued
the fight and, with renewed vigor, the fatigued and n-eary men pnshed on down
the reverse slope of the hill, seizing the town of Tnba 1 day earlier tlian had
been eonsidered possible. Despitc the fact that mure than 60 pcrccnt of the
compnlly were casualtics and the men were near the point of cshaustion from
thc sustninecl drive, into!elable heat. and the rugged terr:lin over which they
fought, tlle remaining men of Comprwq! 0, without coneiderntion of lack of
rest, food, and water continued the attack and began the tortuous ntlvnnee up
Mt. Santo Tornas, towering 7,100 feet in the air. At about 1815 an 26 Agril 1945, ,
the company encountered heavy enemy resistance. Undaunted by intense enemy
fire, Conzpa?ty G arose twice lo assault the euemy positious, but unable to advance,
the men were finally compelled to dig in. On Lhe following morning after
a long night of constant vigil, and of continuous harassment hy thc enemy, the
weary and fatigued men moved once again toward tllcir objertive. Imbued
with an utterly indomitable fichtin~ . mirit. the7 met the euemv and refused to
be halted. Despite the lienvy casnnlties suICered in the fiercest type of close-in
fighting, the gallant fighting men of Conz~anu G continued on. camnletely wiping
~ ~ ~ - -
out an entire company, knoeking out four machine guns and three knee mortars,
penelrating the enelny ~OSition, and then continuing on to seize the summit of
thc 7,103foot peak, thus securiig the right flank of the troops advancing on
Baguia. The determinntion, uuflimching del-ation to duty, and superb couragc
dis&llnyed by each man of Company Cf, lLSd Infantrl~ Regiment, contributed immeasurably
to the success of operations in Northern Luoon and are in keeping
wirh the bighest traditions of the armed forces of the United States. (General
Orders 350, Headquarters 336 Infantry Division, 19 December 1945.)
4. m e 308th Field Artillery Battalion is cited for its magnificent courage,
heroism, and slrillful performance of duty in action against the enemy on the
Islund of Leyte. Philippine Islands, during the period 24 to 31 December 1944.
The 308th Field Avtillen~ Battalion was given the vital mission of supprting the
305th Infantry Regiment in its attack on the last enemy escape route to the seaport
of Palompan. This operation onsisted of a pincer movement of one force
driring over the mountain and another from the sea. On the night of 24
Iseeember, the 306th Field Avtillcry Battalion bcgan its marell from the Palompon
Rond Junction along the only road to Mztagnb, n distance of 10 miles over
a single, narrow causeway, undcr persistent enemy sniper fire. Immediately
upon arrival at Matagob, the 306th Field ArtilZery Baltaliml enme under
observed enemy artillery fire and promptly opened counterbattery fire while
Shells were falling in battery positions. The enemy fire was silenced and enemy
field pieces destroyed within a few minutes of the initiation of artillery fire.
The battalion's position was, of necessity, 2,000 yards in rear of the front lines
and without defilade from the commanding terrain held by the enemy demolition
~arties, which were killed at close auarters br members of the battalion.
On 25 Decemkr, the infantry adrance in the mountains encountered strong
cnemy resistance and was held uu temporarily. The enemy was concealed skillfully
in numerous mutually supporting strong points. Mnsscd artillem fire was
placed on the enemy. These concentrations were so dense and effective that
they stripped the teyrain of all vcgetation, caught the enemy in his well-concealed
and dw-in positions, and inflicted serere casualties. After these fire mi*
.4GO G35B

sions were completed, the infantry was then able to continue its advance This
vital artillery support was accomplished, despite the fact that the 806th Field
Arlilleru Battalian was hemmed in by enemy groups in the somounding hills,
without infantry protection, continually fired upon by enemy artillem and mortar
units, and subjected to persistent night attacks made by the demolition parties
of a fanatical foe. About 0300 on 26 December, an enemy force, with estimated
strength of a platoon, attacked the service battery, but was driven back after a
silarp and decisive fight, leaving three dead. Substantial evidence was dismv-
ered later that the enemy had suffered heavy casualties in this short action.
Later, an artillery patrol cngagcd the encmy about 1,000 yards from the bat-
talion's position. After receiving several osualties, the patrol was withdrawn
and the enemy taken under direct artillely fire. More than 60 Japanese were
Billed in this action. Another artillery security patrol, composed of 20 men
from a firing battery, encountered an enemy infiltration party of approximately
50. The patrol, with grim determination, charged the enemy, killing 33 and
routing the others. Only six members of the patrol were wounded. Lacking
infantry protection, the 3OGth FWd ArtiZm Bettalinz maintained its posItian
for 144 hours in this infested area, displacing only when its immediate tactical
mission had been completed. Though subjected to attacks day and night, this
organization contributed materially to crushing the enemy between two friendly
forces, enabllng the latter to effect a junction and wrest from the enemy bis
last port, thus terminating all organized resistance on thc Island of LeYte,
Philippine Idands. The extraordinary determination, tenacity, sggessiveness,
and esprit de corps displayed by the 306th Zield Artillery Battelion in its iso-
lated mountain position and fight against a fanatical enemy reflect the highest
credit on this organizatlon and the United States Army. (General Ordcrs 6%

2. The 1st Pathlinder Syuarlron (dl) (Prouisio?zul) is cited for outstanding
ncrformance of duty in action from 13 February to 31 July 104%. As the first
American medium pathfinder sqrmdrou to utilize precision blind bombing, the
1st Palhfnder Squadron ('If) (Z'l'ovisiol~al) \ms responsih!e for the successful
development and zstablishm!?nt of precision bombirg as an integral part of
mediiim bomlrnrdment tevhriiqr~c in the European !Cheater of Operations. Only
at the cost of unstinting labor and great hazard was this inno~ation in operations
accomplished. A majority 01 the missions of the lat Patnfinrler Nyuadroit
(H) (Pvouisionul) was untiertaken at night or in tm-tenths cloud cover uudcr
the mcst difficult flying conditions, yet the sqmadron, ne~wtheless, achieved an
enviable record for leading sueecssful bombing nttnrks upon vital enemy instnllatiolis.
On 6 Jonc 1944, Lke Jut Patkfilzder Squadron (UJ (Pr0z;isional) led six
missions against highly impartant ohjectir,es in enemy territory mil, despite poor

pericd of the Normandy campaign, the squadron ird 87 group missions ageinst
Ileavily defended targets with a success and precision which testified to the outstandinx
- nggvessireness, -~
eournge, and technical skill of the mmbers of ti!e organization.
The aehimements of the 1st Eathfir~der Sgrmdron (11) (Pronisional)
constitute a most ralnnble contribution to the success of medium bon~bardrncnt
in the European Theater of O~erations and are in keeping n,iLh the hlghcst traditions
of the Army Air Forces.
3. The SlGlh Tro~p Carrier Group is cited for outstanding performxnee of
duly in action from 25 iVor*entber 1042 to 21, August 1013. . Throunhont the
course of the Egypt-Lihran, Tunisinn, and Sicilinn campaigns, tile SlGth Troop
Carrim Grorcp rendered distinguisherl services in its vital support of the British
Eighth Army and the Nintll Air Force. During the Uiddie East enml?aigo,
during which refueling and rearming problems were greatiy aggravated by the
attenuated lines uf supply through the dese-t, the uuarmed and unarrnnred aircraft
of the 316th Z'roozr Cnrvier Groap played an outstanding part in the success
of both aerirrl and ground operations by transporting vitally needed snii~lies
and replacements to advanced landing grounh only recently evacuated by the
enemy. While the air echelons of the group were cngaged in undertnki~lglong
and hazardous flights without escort over nrens where enemy opposition was
both anfidpntcd and erlcountered, the ground echelons of the gronp, in addltian
to their normal duties, Svlpilorted the sir echelons of two heavy hnmbardmwt
groups thro~ghnnt important operations in the Western Desert. Living under
conditions of great persoriwi hardship and danger in the desert, and operating
despite the difiicnltirs of unfavorable ciimatic and weather conditions, as well
as enemy aerial attack, the personnel of the 816th Troop Cnrricr Gvoup, through
their Courage, PPrSeFeranCP, and deep devotion to duty, reudered an invaluable
contrihutjorr to the success of Allied operations in the Middle East Theater of
Operations.
4. The 3gM Bombardment Group (JI) is cited for outstanding pedormauce
of duty in action in the Eurogmn Theater of Operations from 14 May 1913 to

skill and courage demonsiml~d by the members of the 386th Bnn!anrdmext

Bul. 22, 1943), superseding Executive Order 9075 (see. 111, WD Bnl. 11, 1942),
citations of the following units in the general orders indicated are confirmed
under the provisions of section IF, WD Circular 333, 1943, in the name of the
President of the United States as public evidence of deserved honor and dintinetion.
The eitatiolls read ns follows: % -. , -.
1. The 1st l3attalion; lSSd Infantry Regiment, is ?it& far outstanding performance
of duly in action against the enemy during the pcriod 3-4 October 1944,
while participating in an attack on Mount Del Galletto, the village of Le Croei,
and the formidable heights of Monte laggio and Monte Venere, Italy. Instructed
to advance northward over Mount Del Galletto, through the village of Le Croei,
take Uonte Laggio, with Monte \'enwe, as its ultimate objective, the 1st Hattalion,
lSSd Infantry Regiment, moving forward at dawn on the morning of 3
October 1944, made its way quickly through sporadic resistance over Mount Del
Galletto and entered the tom of Le Croci. Advanling relentlessly, the unit soon
encountered a determined enemy force at the foot of Mnnte 1,nggio. The enemy,
using this beaviiy wooded hill as a strong point in his main linc of resistance,
reSOlUtCly dcfcnded the position. As intense firefight ensued throughout the
daylight hours, with extremely accurate hostile mortar and artillery fire impeding
the progress of the attack. During the night, the bnltle raged nnnbnted
and, in the early morning hours of the next day, cnemy troops made n fanatical
counterattack, which, though succcssIully defeated by one company of the lrattalion,
resulted in numerous casualties. Bs dawn on 4 Octolrrr. the battalion.
thoughdepleted by the heavy fighting of the previous night, reorganized and the
forward elements cleared the crest of Monte Lnmio. -- Faeinx them now was still
another obstacle, a coverless terrain fcnture designated as Hill B47. Securing
armorcd support, the battalion awaited the moment to attack and, after the
tanks Severely shelled the hill at dose range, the infantry troops attempted
to rush the position across 150 yards of opm ground. Meeting intense machinegun
and sniper fire, the battalion was forced to withdraw to the corer of the
w00ds to again wait for the tanks to shell the hill. After 15 minutes of cancrutratid
fire by the armor, the foot troops attemplcd to assault and, despile the
withering fire which m k ~ d the barren ground eventually swept up the hill, overrunning
all the encmy's positions. After elenring Hill 947, the 1st Battalion,
J8d Infanty Regiment, its ranks badly depleted by casualties and its commander
and some of its afiicers rounded, madc another lightning thrust and
swarmed across the remaining 500 yards of open terrain ta the base of Monte
Fenere. Again reorganizing, they pressed forward dauntlessly and stpp by
step made their way in R vicious attxk, securing the final objective, Monte
Venese, after 2 days arid 1 night of bitter and determined fighting. This nceomplishment
broke all organized hostile resistance in the area, and the courage
AGO i23n--0rt. 716102'-40

and bravery demonstrated by the officers and men of the l8t Battalion, 15Sd finfantry
Regiment, against some of the best troups of the encmy, exemplified the
highest traditions of the armed forces of the CnILed States. (General Orders
253, Headquarters Mediterranean Theater of Operalions, 5 October 1946.)
2. The Sd Battalion, 1st Ilzfantry Regiment, is cited for outstanding gallantry
and extraordinary heroism in action against the enemy at Mnffin Bay, Duteh New
Guinea, during the period 25 to 29 June 1944. On 23 June 1044, while the hulk Of
the Sd Battalion, 1st Infantry Reyiment, was preparing for an ampl~ibious enrelopmant
ot Lone Tree Hill, a large carrying party from Company L scaled the
sheer cliffs on the northeast side and scrambled orer the houlder-strewn ledges
to open a supply line to 20th Infantry troops holding the crest of tbe hill.
Accomplishing its initial mission, despite high casualties caused by intense mortar
and maehine~gun fire that followed it up the hill, thc carrying party turned to
find the supply, line cloned by large groups of bypassed Jnps. Assisted by heavy
machine guns of Company 1\L assault teams from the rcmaiuder of Company L
and Battalion Headquarters Company blasted a path through the strong enemy
positions to reopen the supply trail. Throughout the remainder of the action,
ComDnn7 . . L secured the wools .. . line to the too of the hill. Hs destrwina strongly
entrenched encmy positions locatcd in almost inacuessiblc eaves and rock crevices,
knocking out 75-mm mountain mns, - heavy mortars, and machine guns, by use of
flame throwers, rocket launchers, gasoline, greuades, and demolitions, this wmpany
also cleared the encmy from the entire Rocky Point area. On 24 June
1944, the balance of the Jd Battalion was landed on the narrow beach west of the
hill under intense artillery, mortar, and machine-gun fire from enemy povitions
carved out of the rocky hillside. Assault troops dashed across the bench to scale
the clay bank that led to marshy &%t land from which rose tile sheer cliffs of
Lane Tree Hill. but mazinc - - fire from rnxhine-gun - uositions - due - in at the base of
the ehffs, plus accurate mortar and artlilery Are, forced them back to the shelter
of the ledae. Crowded on the shallow beach nnd ivinc - under the ProtertinK clay
bank, the troops were subjected to constant mortar and artillery fire. One
enemy shell k~loclred out an entire mortar section, others sank or damaged
several landing craft, including two which were cvneuating wounded. Bid mcn
and members of the beach party constantly exposed themselves to enemy fire in
order to save thc wounded. During 24 and 25 June lC44, the assault platoons
made several attempts to ndmnce beyond the bank, only to be driven buck after
Small "ins by withering fire. Mortar observers of both the rifle and the heavy
weapons companies braved the constant enemy lire to take up positions on
the exposed ledge and directed hcavy and accurate firc an the enemy emplacrments.
On 26 June 1944, Companies I and K again went wer the clay bank
in an all-out assault on the enemy pillboxes, emplacements, and cnve positions
that rimmed the hill. Momentarily bnited by the intense artillery, mortar, and
maehine~gun Are, the asvault platoons surged forward in a two-pronged attack
that carried them across the marshes to the base of the cliffs and up the steep
slopes of Rocky Paint, where contact was established with Company L After
scaling caves, destroying eml~lncernents, and killing snipers in the by-pnssed
areas, the 3d Battalion continued the assault on 28 and 2Ll June 1944, destroying
scattered pockets of resistance and overrunning stron"ointe until the entire
Lone Tree Hill area was secure. In the dri5.e to secure Lone Tree Hill, the
Jd Batfalion, 1st I%fantrU Regiment accounted for 297 counted enemy dead,
plus an estimated 280 killed and buried in 36 demolished caves. Three 57-mm
and five 75-mm mouniain guns, 2 machine guns, 6 mortars, and numerous other
dGO 1238

weawns were destroyed or captured. The casualties of the battalion totalled 56
killed and 92 wounded. The tenacity and gallantry disglayed by the men of the
Sd B;ltfalion, 1st Infantry Regiment in holding a nxrow beachhead under constant
and accurate enemy flre and storming strongly defended &Us against the
fannLic and welirntrenehed rncm1 were in the highest traditions of the Americnn
soldier and reflect great honor on the United States Army. (General Orders
245. Headanarters 8th Infalltry Division. 30 Dec~mber l'J?R.l
3. The 60th Troop Carrier Group is cited for outstanding perCarmance of duty
in action against the enemy in the Mediterranam Theater of Operations from
28 March to 15 S~ptember 1944. In March 1Q44, when Allied missions, atteuptins
to organize effective fighting forces in Yngoslitvia, Greece, and Albania, called
for an immediate, substantial, and steady flow of desperately needed supplies,
this vital task was assigned to the 60th Troop Carvier Group. Overcoming almost
insurmountable obstacles in necoro~liahing this important assignment, the Goth
Troop Cn9r.ier Group distinguished itself through an outstanding performance
of duty clearly exceptional in its nature, method, and degree of achievement. All
mission8 had to be flown at night in unarmed and unarmored W 7 type alrcraft
over unfamiliar enemy occupied areas, where hostile anliairernft fire and night
fighters were expected and frequently encountered. Guided night after night by
skillful navigators to drop zones pinpointed amidst towering mountairla and
ridges, alert and proficient crews, tiying at dangerously low altitudes, released
packages containing carefully apportioned wpplies of arms, food, and mediciue
Displaying unfailing courage arid superior flying shllity, group pilots landed
skillfully on and took off in hours of darkness, often by instruments, from small
haStily improvised limding Strips hidden in deep valleys and under constant
threat of enemy ground action. Making more thnn 600 such hazardous landings,
airplanes of the 60th Troop Carrier Group unloaded quantities of critically
needed supplies too hulky for i~araehuting, including jeeps and mules, e~aeunling
on the return trig many Allied airmen, mounded partisans, and civiliau refugees.
From 28 Mnrch to 15 September, this group, flying more thnn 15,000 honru and
completing nearly 3,000 missions, delivered more tlmn 7,000 tans of weapons,
ammunition, clothing, food, and medicine, dropped millions of news and grallagmlda
Icaflets, and evacuated tllousanrls of military and civilian personnel.
Despite weather, tewain, enemy nieht tighters, antiaircraft are, and hostile
ground action, which together exacted a toll of 10 aircraft destroyed and 34
combat crew members killed or misuing, the tot?& Troop Cawier Woup steadily
maintained its resuwlv -- . service throuehuut - this neriod. succrsvfull~ sustainirlz
highly effective resistance in the Balkan areas. The gallantry, self-sacrifice, and
outstandine -. nroficienc~ in combat di?olased .. hv . the nersonnel of the 60th Troon
Cnwier G~oz~p in these operation^ reflect great credit on themselves and the
military Service of the United States. (General Orders 233, Headquarters
Twelfth Air Force, 12 Nowmber 1944.)
4. The 14Sd Antiairwaft Artillery 0u.n Battalion is cited for extraordinary
heroism in armed conflict with the enemy from 18 tu 24 Ikeember 1914. During
this period, the battalion was charged with the defense of an important Allied
city at the bexinning of the Ardennes counterattack. When the enems threatened
to engulf Nlied installations, the Mierrs and men of the 143d Antiairwaft Artillery
Gun BattaMon assumed an antitank role, successfully stemming a determined
enemy armored attack after adjacent infantry and armored units had been forced
to withdraw. Despite the sererity of the sttxk, the members of the 1436 Antzairnaft
Artzllery Qun Battalion remained steadfastly to their posts wilh in-
A00 723B

domitable courage and tenacity of purpose, fighting the enemy on the ground, in
the air, and shoulder to shoulder with the infantry during one of the most critical
jmctures in operations against the enemy in the Ardennes salient. The
heroisu~ and devotion to duty displayed by (he personnel of the entire 14.36 Antinirmzft
Artillery Gun Battalion was indicative of an esnrit de corm in keeping
with the highest traditions of thc armed forces of the United States. (General
Orders 206, Headquarters Sinth Air Force, 24 Sovember 1945.)
5. The 189th Rield Artillew Battalion is cited far outstanding performance of
duty in action against the enem1 on 13 Septemher 1913 at Saierno, Italy. During
the first bitter 4-day battle on 9-12 September 1943, for establishment of the
Salerno heachhehd, 8uccet;s of the rcnture had not as yet been assured. The
most critiral day of the entire operation came on 13 September 1943, when the
enemy launched its heaviest counterattacks. Success mas within the enemy's
. ernsv - when he annihilated infantrv elements holdine Ule vital Selc-Calore Rivers
corridor. The 189th Pihld A?tillery Battalion, in position near the junction of
the two rivers, stood alone between the stnmy enemy force and the hexci>es. -4s
the enemy moved to the attack, the 189th ~ ieM Artillerg Battalion formed a defensive
line manned by the antitank platoon, machine gunners, cooks, truck
driverr, ammunition handlers, drrlts, and spare cannoneers. The Germans
renchrd the river line and attavked in force with rifles, machine guns, mortars.
Lank firc, and artillery, but the lS!ltl~ Field Artillery Battalion held fast. From
1500 hours until dark (2200 hours), the enemy attacked contir~uously in an at-
Lempl to overrun the battalion's posilion, hut by grim delenninnlion and indomitable
fighting spirit, the battlrliou repulsed ail enemy assaults. The howitzer
crews delivered alnlast contin!aruS fire, mostly by direct lasing and at very close
range. By 2230 hours, the enemy admitted dei'ent and withdrew. The individual
courage, galbintry. and esprit de eorps dislliilyed by the officers and men of the
ISWL i"ie1.d Artilleru Bottal.trm exrm~lifg - the hiehest traditions of ti\e military
~
servire. Successful accomplishment of an infantry role by the battalion preveilled
a disastrous and eoluplctc break-thranph and made possible the ultimate
suercss of the Saienlo Campaign. (General Orders 812, Headquarters Seventh
Army, 16 October 1815.)

Dul. 22, 19431, superseding Executive Order $3075 (see. 111, WD Bui. 11. lW),
the following units are cited by the War D~partment under the provisions of
s~ction IT, WD Circular 333, 1943, in the name of the President of the United
States 3s public evidence of deserved honor and distinction. The citations read
as follows:
1. Headquarters and Headquarters Battery, 9th Infantry Di2liaion Artillny.
is cited for conspicuous gallantry and heroism in battle on 21, 22, and 23 February
1943, in repelling an attack by vastly supe~ior farres, which were attempting to
break through the Allied lines in the vicinity of Thain, Tunisia. Headquartws
and Headp.uarter8 Battery. llth Infantry Division Artillery, completed a 100-hour
forced march from Tlemcen, Algeria, corering n distance of 735 miles in hitter
weather over tortuous and almost impassable rnauntnic roads on tho night of
21 February 1943. Without prior reeonnalssnnce or adequate maps, harassed by
enemy fire. and forced to maneuver through a congested narrow road, neverthe
less, the battery oceopied battle positions, set up communications, established
observation posts, and was ready to delirer fire by daylight. Although enemy
forces were entrenched only 2,600 yards distant and there were only three
platoons of friendly infantry in front of the artillery, the unit maintained
constant and steady fire with much deadly effect and enemy tank units were
diswrscd and driven back. The cool and determined manner in which Headquarters
and Headwartera Rotleru, 9t:: Infantry DDiston Artillery, entered into
battle, after an almost incredible forced march, cantributed in great measure to
the defeat of the enemy's attenlpl to break through the Thala defile. The gallant
entry into battle and the heroism vith which the volume of fire was maintained,
desnite terrific enemy fire, are in keeping with the hihest traditions of the
American military service.
2. The 7526 Tank Battallon is cited for outstnoding per~ormauee of duty in
actlon, from 22 April to 2 May 194.5, in the Fo Vallcs. Italy. Supporting an infantry
division in the victorious adranee into the Po Valley, the men of this
bz~ttaliou Dartici~ated aagressivels .- in the assault on slrono enemy positions,
driring the hostile forces unrelmtingly from Bologna lo the foothills of the Alps.
Dis~llaYing - great - courage and determinntion, the heroic tankmen utilized the full
striking power of their tanks to smash strong paints of fanatic enemy resistance,
without regard for grave personal danger. On 23 April, in rapid and savage
attack8 that demoralized large enemy groups and prerented them from reorganizing,
the determined tankmen effected the Pnnaro River crossing, inflicting
heavy casualties on the enemy, destroying great nnrnbers of vehicles, and enp
turing over 400 prisoners. Pressing an toward the Po River, this battalion
AGO 729B-Oct. 716102'-46

skilfullv and effectirelr shattered the entranched enemy, . overcamc stubborn resistance,
and covered the successful river crossing by the infantry. Cantinuily
the admnce, the tanks suearbended the action into and besond Verona, cutting
up and smashing Germnn defenses with s ferocions display of armored power.
In nn extremely hazardous and unpreeedentcd advance during the night, the
tnnlmen succccded in capturing Vincenza, after a sarage struggle overcoming
road blocks, bazookn, sniper flre, and large caliber guns in house-to-house lighting.
Withant rest, the gallant men pushed on and blasted the fanatical enemy from
to~u to tom and, at the ccssatlon of hostilities, were mming inexorably into
the AIDS. The fearless and indomitable courage - disnlnyed - by (he men of the
~
76% Tank Battalion contributed substantially toward effecting the cnpitulntion
of the enemy in Italy and is an everlasting credlt and inspiration to the armed
forces of the United States.

Unction. The citations read as follows:
1. Troop 0, 118th Cavalvy Reconnaissance Rquadron (Mechanized) (Reinforced),
is cited for distinguishing . itself in haltle by extraordinary heroism,
determination, and esprit de corps in oTercoming unusually difficnlt and hazardous
conditions during the period 4 to 7 A~ril1845. With the 36 Plntoon, Company F.
attached, Troop C, 113th Ca~alry Re&naiarance Aqaadron (Mechanized) (Rein-
Forced), was assigned the missiou of carrying out a reconnaissance in foree of a
route between I'aderhorn, Germany, and the \Veser River. During the initial
phases of the action, T~oop C reduced successfully several roadblocks defended
bs sullerior enemy forces. Heavily defended woods were cneountcred and were
attacked hy disnlonnted scout sections and towns were successfiilly attacked and
taken in the face of - ~re~ared - defensive nositions, which were auqmented in two
iu8tan~es with Tiger tanks. Troop C, during the major portion of the period, was
in direct contact with the enrmy 24 hours a day. When, near the town of
Langenknmo, Troop B, 113th Caralry Reconnaismnce Squadron (Mechanized),
was stopped by fanatical resistance from a roadhloe~ Troop C, moved through
Troop H. demolished the roadblock, and captured the tovn, then moved on into
the town of Rischcnnu through heavily defended woods and canalized roads.
The enemy had 40-mm guns, two Tiger tanks, and about a rampauy of infantry
in dcfense of the town. l'roop C moved in, attacked, and forced the enemy to
nbnndnn thoir positions. Fronl there, Tf-oop C lnored toward the town of Falkenllagen
in a night attack and, even though an erroneous report as to the oecuparlcy
of the town was received from an adjacent unit, struck with such foree and
P8Prit de cows that tlw town mas taken from an estimated battalion ef SS troops,
rrugn~erited by two Mark YI tanks. As a result of this brilliant action, the 63d
Infantry Division mas able to move rapidly toward the arca from which the
attack across the Weser River rpns launched. (General Orders 580, Headquarters
Seventh Army, 8 Oetakr 1945.)
2 The 1st Battalion, 518th Pwmhute Infaqztry Rsgin~ent, is cited for extrnordinary
heroism, emciency, and achievement in action against the enemy near
Wesel, Germany, on 24 March 1945. After having been subjected to intense and
damaging antiaircraft Bre and landing an a drop zone swe~lt with heavy automatic
--
in the face of great odds and a defensively prepared enemy resulted in the
anbyesuerit success of the airborne and land invasion of Germany. (General
Orders 352, Hcadqnorters United States Army Forces, European Theater, 28
Deeember 1945. j
3. The 3.3 Battalion, 513th Parachute I?tfantry Repiment, is cited for ertraor-
ilinnry heroism, achievement, and gallantry in action against the enemy in the
vicinity of Wesel, Germany, on 21 March 1945. Encountering heavy antiaircraft
resistance, this battalion landed amid strong enemy positions. Despite the stiff
resistance encountered on the ground, the battalion assembled and organized to

educe six 88-mm guns and capture 1,262 prisoners during the day's action. Al.
though ~URering severe casualtie, both in the air and on the ground, the courageous
and heroic action demonstrated by the members of this unit amisted materially
fn gaining the successful exploitation of the airborne invasion of Germany. De
spite having lost an estimated 27 percent of their transport airplanes to hostile
antiaircraft fire, the eiTorts of this ad Battalion, 518th Parachute Infantr~ Reyiment,
made the over-all success of the mission possible. (General Orders 352,
HPadqnarters United States Army Forces, Buropcan Theater, 28 December 1DlZ.)
4. The 3d Battalion, S18tl~ Parachu.te Infantry Regimmt, is cited for outstanding
performance of duty in action against the enemy between 24 and 26
Mnreh 1845, during tbe airborne operation across tile Rhine River, near Wesel,
Germany. The battalion landed by parachute bchind enemy lines in the Issel
River area, northwest of Rrnnen, Germany. Intense antiaircraft and smallarms
fire was encountered by the approaching airplanes and during the parachutist
drops. Dcspite the fact Ihe hattalion n.ns dropped 3,500 yards north of
the ~rerletermirled drop zone and was eugagcd immediately by hostile fire from
numerous, weil-fortified and eonee:iled positions, the battalion was quicitiy assemblcd
and, after violcnt fighting, the lauding zone was Secured. The unit,
fighting bitterly all the way and after takiu; 779 prisoners in tire first day of
action, moved to its predesignwted landing zone to the south. On 26 Narch 1945,
at 0800, the battalion, supported by 1 platoon of American tanks, nssnulted the
German positions on a 1,500-yard front across flat terrnin afEording no cover or
concealment and ncainst an cnelnv concentrdtcd in farmhouses. barns, and dux-in
yosition8. By l6OO the same day, the battalion objectire, a strategic hill nppraximntely
200 feet bigh with a %drmee sior~e, had been taken. During this attack,
the battalion destroyed 3 lnrge ammunition dumps, inflicted serere casualties
upun the enemy, and ouirtured more that 280 prisoners, wirh a total loss to the
battalion of 4 men liiiled and 14 woundcd for the day. This gallant and heroic
Performance by officers and men of ail ranks wxs rm invaluable contribution to
the success of the airborne operation. The canrxg, devotion to duty, and fighting
s~drit displayed by members of the Sd Battalion, 513th Parac7wte Infantru Regiment,
are worthy of emulation and reflect the flnest trnrlitions on the armed
forces of the Unitcd States. (General Orders 552, Heady~urters United States
Arms Forces, European Theater, 28 December 1M5.)
5. The 126th Pield Artillery Battalion is cited for extraordinary heroism and
outstanding perfnrmance of duty in action against the encmy on Luzon, Philip
Dine Idanda, from 30 January to 3 June 1945. For the entire 125 dam necrs-
Snry lo complete this operation, the 1BGth Field Artilln'v Dottelion was in eontinuous
direct snpwrt successively of the 127th, 12fith, and, finally, of the 1'28th
Infantry Regiments of the 32d Infantry Division. To do so, it was forced to
Position itself and its guns amidst treacherous terrain and nreciuitaus - - cliffs,
carving its fillal position by hand and by bulldozer from a hillside 4,000 yards
west of Mt. Imugau, in order that it might support decisive infantry operations
toward Mt. Imugan and Snnta Fe in the ensuing 10 weeks. Only from this p
Sition and no other could fire support be effectively maintained against n fauntical
and well-dug-in enemy, who subjected the unit to all kinds of harassment, registering
continually upon its position with small-arms and artillery fire of all
calibers and ceaselessly practicing well-developed infiltration tactics. Regardie~s
of the exlreme hazard and danger of necessity placed upon it and with a grim
tenacity of purpose and wen greater heroism, the 126th Field Artillerff Ratiolim,
with a magnificent esprit de corps, maintained both its position and its fires until

the completion of the 326 Division's operations, covering its relief and withdrawal
and being the last unit to leave the scene of the action. In this period,
)t fired more than 69,200 rounds of ammunition far a rate of better than 1 every
2 minutes. Desoite this heavy rate of fire. it was successfuIl? deliver& without
inflicting a single casualty upon the supported infantry, a support action rendered
under all but imnossible conditions. Wire communications and sun~ly .- were
~
maintained at a great cost to the battalion, which, in addition, being denied
flank support because of a shortage of troops within the division itself, was
forced to maintain its own security by constant patrolling action. Because of the
extreme hazard of the position, easooliies were henrg, both at the position and
in the forward areas. where forward observers and liaison Darties consistcntl~
operated, the battalion suffering more than a11 other artillery units of the division
concerned. This brought about a critical shorlnge of wrsonnel, resulting
in officers and men maintaining themselves for periods as long as 37 days in the
forward areas without relief and des~itr ihe need in mans cases for hospitalization.
~hroughout this time, many a& of individual heroism and gallantry were
performed by officers and men of the hatlalion, who so sn~cessfully completed
their mission as to alas a naramount role in the onenine of the Villa Verde Trail.
devotion to duty diminred by the officers and men of the 186th i"&d Artillery
Battaxon, during thir critical phase of the Luzon campaigu, not only refiect great
credit ou the mcmbers of the battalion but on the bntbwliun itself, the R2d Division,
and military scrvice as well. (Gcnernl Orders 46, Headquarters 32d Infantry
Division, 28 k'ebroarg 1946.)
6. The 884th Airborne Jiedictld Company is cited for extraordinary heroism,
acilirvement, and efficiency in action against the enemy near Wesel, Germany, on
24 March 1045. After having been subjected to heary flak resistance, which cost
the unit 3 of its surgeons, miscellaneous supplies, and transportation, this airborne
medical ComPnny cs;ublished the divisional aid and clearing station within 55
minutes after landing, Of the eemniuing medical personnel, 13 were wounded, but
refused evacunrian in order to attend those requiring medical and surgical attention.
Despite the handieaps and losses, the 24th Airom-ne Medical Cornpanu
Provided efficient and adequate medical attention to approximately 750 American
and British casualties during tile first 24 hours of the operation. The complete
devotion to duty and absolute disregard for personal welfare demonstrated by
the 2%4th Airborne XedioaZ Company were responsible for the unprecedented law
mortality rate for an operation of this nature (General Orders 352, Headquarter8
United States Army H'orces, European Theater, 28 December 1945.)
I. The 315th Troop Oarrler Equadros, 4436 Pool, Can'ier &mLp, is cited for

WD Bul. 22, 19431, superseding Exccutive Order 9075 (sec. 111 \VD Bul. 11.
1942), citation of the following unit in the generayorders indicated is confirmed
undcr the provision8 of section IV, WD Circul.& 333, 1913, in the name of the
President of the United Stntes as public esidence of deserved honor and distiuction.
The citation rends as follows:
The Sd Battaldm, 128th lnfanhg Beginont, is clted for outstanding performance
of duty in actlon against the enemy of Luzon, Philippine Islands, from 24
March to 31 May 1945. The Sd Battalion, during this period, attacked and
vanquished the fanatical and aggressive enemy entrenched in seemingly impregnable
fortifications controlling the Villa Verde TraiL The enemy timetable
permitted them months of preparation. during which, they honeycombed the
hiils with elaborate systems of caves, prepared fortifled empiacemcnts far
artillery and machine guns, familiarized themselves with the terrain, and cached
huge stocks of supplies nod ammunition. Dense forests, thick scrub and uuderbrush,
and concentrated patches of mzor-sharp kunai grass afforded the enemy
the most ideal natural defensive positions eyer encountered. Defense of them
hills consisted of series after series of pillboxes heavily armed uitb machine
guns and mutually s~~pporting automatic and small-arms flre. These positions
were so well-dug in and protected that thpy were not seriously affected by our
artillery and mortar barrages and had to be reduced one by one by organized
assault group%, The commitment of the Sd Battalion, in n series of coordinated
attacks against enemy-held hills, launched the unit into one of the bloodiest most
bitterly Contested engagements of the entire campaign. In 14-day period, 220
Japanese were killed and mnny others were buried in the 44 eaves and pillboxes
sealed and overrun. Ban~alore . tornedocs. rocket launchers. wle charges, handthrown
demolitions, and flame throwers literally blasted and buried enemy troops
to annihilation as the slow, costlr ad~ance rolled on until thrse hiils were taken.
The capture of these hills isolated eut-off pockets of enemy forces and made
possible the extension of the supply road. Further advance was impeded by
AGO 81SB

the enemy's positions on another hill. This hill consisted of a series of steep
gullies and ridges approximately 800 yards long, running parallel to the trail
and south of it. Its commanding ground dominated over 1,000 yards of the trail
and, until secured, prevenied all forward movement. The Sd Battalion was
assigned the mission of capturing this hill and establishing a roadblock on the
trail from the south by this flanking movement. Again the battalion encountered
stiff enemy resistance in well-fortified and mutually supporting caves, machine-
gun . . illb boxes .and dur-in . sniuers. Accurate enemy indirect and point-blank
artillery subjected our troops to heavy fire. Once again the experienced assault
grouw burned, blasted, and fought their way through -. cacket after pocket of these
fortifed positions. Again demolitions, rocket launchers. flame throwers, pole
charges, close-iu fighting, and hand-to-hand combat wrested pasitions from the
tenacious enemy. In 4 days of ferocious nssaults, fortifications were rednced
and control of dominating hills established. When advanced elements af the
division found thelnselves isohled, because of cutting of their supply line, elements
of the Sd Battalion were rushed to that area, A new trail ms cut to tho
isolated elements and, in a series of bloody, savage attacks, they completely
annihilated the Japlnese blockading the old supply route. During this phase,
the enemy controlled a section of the Villa Verde Trail. A threc-way pincer
movement was initiated to eliminate this enemy group. Throughout this entire
phase, it was a case of engaging and destroying installations, caves, and pillboxes,
one by one. The fanatical enemy had to be killed to tne last man, each determined
to fight to the end. The onslaught of the American troops, closing from
511 sides, was so fierce that the spirit of the defenders of the Villa Verde Trail
was broken forever. During the above-mentioned period, the Sd Battalion killed
at least 741 Japanese, while countless others were smothered and buried in
caves. The indomitable courage of the Jd Battalim, 188th Infuntru Regiment,
and their aggressirenesa in battle against an enemy favored by both perfect
defensive tenain and oriental fanaticism were determining factors in the
conquest of the Villa VVele Trail. (General Orders 48, Headquarters 32d
Infantry Division, 28 February 1046.)
XVII-.MEDAL OF FREEDOM,-By direction of the President, under thc pro-
visions of Executive Order (1586, 6 July 1945 (see. 11, WD Bul. 12, 191.i), the
Medal Of Greedom for meritorious service which has aided the United States in

of the United States as public evidence of deserved honor inld distinction. The

The Sd Uultalion, 184th Infuatry Il.r.oinreat, is cited for outstanding performance
Of duty in action ncar Aitnpe, British Sew Gulnca, during the periml 12 July to
7 August 1914. On 12 July 1044, the Sd Battolirm, after a forced mnrrli of 12
miles, routed an enemy-held position east of the I[-Rny River to secure n line of
de~nrlure and to launeh a counteraltaek to restore the line of tire Drininmor
River, which had been penetrated by a determined fanatical enemy force the
pre7-ious day. The Sd Battalion, with an exposed right fiunlr, led the attack and.
by strong, aggressive action, reached its objective late in tile afternoon of 13 July
1 This battalion was subjected to intense autornntie and small-arms fire
from three exnoscd flanks throughout the night, as other elements of the combat
team had been delaywl by a strong cnemy force and could not dose in an the
objective. On 14 July 1944, the Sd Battalion, in an advance to close the left flank
of the unit an their right, met sudden, intensificd enemy resistance from all dirretions.
The Sd Battalion, fighting with sheer determination under the most adverse
circumstances, finally overwwered the enemy, killing 169 and srvnred and
strongly secured the enemy's main supply route. This fcat was ;wxmplished so
swiftly that an enemy supply train continued to advance down the trail dircet
into the strongest sector of the Jd Battalion's perimeter, resulting in 131 enemy
dead littering the trail and river bed. Shortly before dn3-break on 16 Julx, tile
3d Battalion was attacked by a well-organized enemy force from the rear, followed
by a similar attack supported by mortnr fire an the right Rank by an enemy
force Occupying positions previously nrepared bs- friendly troops. The opposition
in that direction was quickly neutralized and one company of the battalion caunterattackerl
to the right and drove the enemy from their position where 416 enemy
were killed. Early on tllc morning of 21 Julj- 1914, the encmy launched a vicious
coordinated attack on the front and rear defense of the Sd Battalion. There followed
the most fanatical fighting up to this time, as the enemy nttaclcetl the melldefended
positions of the battalion time and time again, only to be repulsed by n
suPerior force. On 31 July 1.844, the entire regiment, reinforced by an infantry
AGO 811B--OCt 716102'46

attalion, launched a counterattack to the east toward Niumen Creek, to relieve
the pressure on the extreme southern flank and to secure a position from whlcb
the enemy could be enveloped and cut ob The Sd Battalion on the extreme right
flank of three battalions abreast, with the reinforcing battalion following, reached
its objective early in the afternwn of 1 Aumt 1941. Turning south. the 3d
Batlalton eocountered well-prepared positloas and the advance was halted because
of hitter opposition. Following the engagement. 99 enemy dead were counted.
The advnuce to the south was continued through dense jungle and rough and
swampy terrain, with the Sd Batttuton reaching the Afua Trail far in advance of
the battalion on Its rizht - On 5 Aupust - 1844. while attaekinz - sooth on Niumen
Creek, the 3d Battalion contacted strong dug-in positions, but by aggressive action
aiming the enemy from caves and snider fox holes in solid rack, continued to
-- -
advance until 1WO. Heavy mortar Ere was received during the night and the
enemy launched a vigorou~ cwunterattack, which was quickly repulsed by the
Sd Battdfom. Immediately afterwards, the Jd Battallon launched an attack king
the enemy in position, while another battalion flanked to the enemy's left; then,
a vicious coordinated attack was launched, destroying and routing an estimated
reinforced battalion, amuntlngfor 425 enemy dead. As a result of the strenuous
action on 5 and 6 August, the whole enemy force was practically annihilated and
the disorganized remnants of the force trap* The 3d Battalion was in eon-
stant nmtact with the desperate enemy force during the period of 13 July to 7
Aumst - 1044. The acmessive -- action of the Jd Bntfalia, relentle€alv drivb - thel
enemy through mud, swamps, dense jungle growth, and over rough, moantaioous
terrain during heavy prevailing rains, never allowing the enemy to consolidate
and reorganize, played a major role in the liberation of Aitape and established
another "stepping stone" for Allied armies to advance to the othor strategic
islands to the north. During this period, the Sd Battalion amounted for approximately
1,300 enemy dead. The conspicuous gallantry and outstanding performance
of duty from 13 July to 7 August 1044, by all personnel of the Sd
Battalion, l3&7& Iinfantrg R&ment, reflect great credit on themselves and the
battaliou and uphold the highest traditions of the military service (General
Orders 156, Headquarters 318t Infantry Division, 20 September 1045.)

Bul. 22. 1943), superseding Executive Order 9076 (sec. 111, WD Bul. 11, 1942),
,-..citation of the following unit in the general orders indicated is confirmed under
rathe provisions of section IV. WD Circular 333, 1943, in the name of the President
.'?of the Unitcd States as public evidence of deserved honor and distlnclion. The
- - citation reads as follows:
. The Sd Battalion, @Slh Infnntf-li Reginmni (Reinforoed), is cited for extraor-
' dinary heroism and outstanding performance of duty in armed conflict with the
enemy during the period 23 to 25 February 1945 in the vicinity of Duren, Germany.
The Jd Battalion, 418th Znfantrg Regiment (Reinforced), forced a crossing of
the Roer River and. mlthout deia~, advanced across partially inundated and
well-mined terrain in the face of de~astating fire from well-prepared defensirl?
Do~itions. TWO companies mad? the initial crossing. When several boats ooerturned,
the men swam to the enemy side and, though wet and cold and some of
them without ammunition or weapons, rent into action. A ferry was swiftly
constructed by supporting assault engineers. Badly needed su~plies, upp port in@
weapons, and ammunition were ferried across and the wounded and prisoners of
war were evacuated. The two companies advanced immediatel~ against ilugr
factory buildings, secured their initial objective, after a fierce hand-to-hand
battle, and repelled two enemy eolmterattseks, after quickly argnnizillg a defense.
At this point, the plan of attack was altered and the battalion was ordered
to assault and caviure an insane asslum. which was the dominatinp - terrain
feature in the city of Duren. Quiclrly resupplying ammunition and weapons and
formulating a plan of attark, which was delivered to subordiuate commanders
without recourse to radio, the battalion subdued fierce resistance in adjacent
factories and launched its amnult on schedule, capturing the objective in a furious
asmult. At 0300, 24 February 1945, a counterattack, supportPd by devastating
artillery fire, was launched by the enemy. The attack was repulsed by the men
of the battalion by quick and effective coordination of machine-gun, artillery, and
mortar lire, inflicting 40 casualties on the enemg farce of over 100 men and
capturing the Emn& of the force. The aggressive actions of the Sd Battaliol~.
413th Infantry Regiment (Relnfomed), successfully established and secured a
bridgehead into Duren, penetrating 3,000 yards into enemy-held territory. The
penetrntioD of Sllecessi~e Axed positions broke the enemy's defenses, which had
been prepared for over 3 months, and secured observation enahling the placing
of obserred flres on enemy positions, contributing greatly to the caufueion and
disorgnniZaLiou of the enemy and facilitating the assault across the plains of
Cologne toward the Rhine Riper. Large quantities of enemg cq~ipment were
taken, 178 Prisoners c.aptured, and 20 enemy killed by the b~ttaiion in this action.
Throughout the action, the officers aud men of the 3d Battalion, 415th Znfantr~
Regiment (Reinforced), distinguinhed tl~emeeives by great determination, outstandtng
agfircssiveness, and superior combat discipline, gaining exceedingly dif~
