WARREN F. ALBRECHT, 35560889, Sergeant, 508th Parachute Infantry.
For gallantry in action on 27 December. 1944, near ***,
BELGIUM.
Voluntarily leading a daylight patrol to clear
snipers in front of the MLR, Sergeant ALBRECHT maneuvered his patrol
so as to ambush a strong party of the enemy, killing four of them.
Then observing an enemy column, supported by two SP* guns, he sent
the information back by runner. Taking advantage of the
artillery barrage brought on by his message which demoralized the
enemy, Sergeant ALBRECHT and his patrol harassed the
disorganized Germans in such a manner that they withdrew. By
his courageous and aggressiveness and initiative, Sergeant ALBRECHT
was highly instrumental in breaking up a heavy enemy attack and was
directly responsible for inflicting heavy casualties. Sergeant
ALBRECHT's conduct was in keeping with the high traditions of the
Airborne Forces, Entered military service from
WINDFALL, INDIANA.
* SP=Self Propelled
