DALLAS L. WALL, 38519159, Private, 508th Parachute Infantry. For
gallantry in action on 24 December 1944, near ***, Belgium.
Private WALL, Light Machine Gunner, Headquarters Company, First Battalion,
508th Parachute Infantry, volunteered on 24 December 1944 to cross terrain
which was under enemy observation and heavy small arms fire, in an attempt
to secure medical aid for four men who had been seriously wounded. It
was impossible to render first aid to the wounded men and their presence in
the positions hampered the operation of the machine gunners. Private
WALL unhesitatingly volunteered to secure medical aid and have these men
evacuated. His unselfish action, in an effort to aid his comrades and
to clear the position so that its operations would not be hampered, reflects
great credit upon himself and the Airborne Forces of the United States Army. Entered military service from
BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA.
