CITATION: GO 36 19 March 1945 (page 3)
WALLACE C. JUDD, 33522229, Corporal, 508th Parachute
Infantry. For gallantry in action on 7 January 1945, near ******, BELGIUM.
Charged with supplying overhead fire from his machine gun in support of
attacking troops, Corporal JUDD exposed himself fearlessly to knock out an
enemy emplacement on his company's flank. He then directed the fire of
his aromatic weapon upon an enemy mortar position, effectively neutralizing
it and removing this danger to the company advance. When the attacking
troops came under heavy fire fro to self-propelled funs, Corporal JUDD, with
complete disregard for his own safety, moved his weapon forward and
succeeded in killing and scattering the crew of one gun and aided in
knocking out the other. Corporal JUDD's conduct and gallantry were
dominant factors in the success of the battalion's attack and were in
keeping with the high traditions of the Airborne Forces.
Entered service from RICHMOND, VIRGINIA..
