Soon after the jump off his platoon commander was wounded. He took charge of his platoon, and led them under heavy machine gun fire through the unbroken wire. Comming upon a machine gun, he attacked it single handed and captured it with its crew. He then reorganized his platoon in the objective, and personally superintended the consolidation of the position.'
