"Pfc. James H. WILSON, in a forward observer’s party of Cannon Company, saw a seriously wounded companion in the open, and left his covered position in the face of heavy enemy fire, made his way to the man’s side where he administered first aid and carried him to shelter. He again exposed himself to secure medical aid for the man. The combined efforts of the first platoon of Company A and Company C caused the Germans in the factory to yield."
