Amanuensis Monday: U.S. Army WWII Telegram/Citation for Glenn L. Walker (1917-1993)

Private Glen L Walker 37072436.  Infantry United States Army.

For Heroic Achievement in connection with military operations

against the enemy on May 28, 1943, during the Attu Operation.

After a desperate fire fight with the enemy, Private Walker's company

was left in a situation so hazardous that it was deemed advisable

to withdraw to a higher position in the rear.  After withdrawing

about five hundred yards it was discovered that two casualties

had been left to the mercy of the enemy.  Private Walker immediately

volunteered to assist in the rescue of his comrades. 

With complete disregard for his personal safety, Private Walker's

heroic action was inspirational to his comrades and reflected

great credit upon himself an the military service.

Glenn Lynndon Walker was my 1st Cousin, 1x removed.
