| Clarence J. Johnson 117th Regiment, Company C 30th Infantry Division |
| 1st Lt Clarence J. Johnson, O-1311898, Infantry,
United States Army, for gallantry in action on 16 January 1945, in
Belgium. Lt. Johnson's company, due to ineffective mortar and artillery fire, was stopped by extreme fire from an enemy roadblock. Realizing that the company could not advance without supporting artillery fire, Lt. Johnson made his way through a withering storm of fire to a point where he could observe the roadblock and call for artillery fire. As a result of his gallant action, the company took its objective and inflicted severe casualties on the enemy. Entered military service from Wisconsin. GO 142, 45-06-05 |
