Bronze Star with "V" Device |
Citation
For heroic service in connection with military operations
against the enemy near ***, *** on 10 April 1945. Sergeant
Anderson acting as an artillery Forward Observer,
showed exceptional courage and resourcefulness while directing
artillery fire on an enemy Observation Post. With utter disregard
for his own safety, he took the radio and worked his way forward
under enemy fire to a point where observation could be obtained.
From this location which was still being shelled, he directed
the fire of his own battalion and succeeded in destroying
the enemy position. Sergeant Anderson’s courageous conduct
on this occasion reflects great credit upon himself and the
military service.
