Staff Sergeant Wallace K. Anderson
Killed in Action: November 22, 1944
413th Infantry Regiment, 104th Infantry Division
Posthumously awarded the Silver Star Medal when he left his
foxhole as he saw a truck burst into flames after hitting an anti-tank
mine. In the face of an intense German artillery and mortar barrage,
he made his way across 250 yards of enemy fire swept terrain to
the stricken vehicle. Despite the flames and concentrated enemy
shelling, Anderson successfully extricated an officer and two
enlisted men who were injured and helplessly trapped in the truck
before being killed himself.
