around him until the German attack was
finally broken. By his heroism and disregard
for his own life, Lieutenant Conner stopped
the enemy advance. The artillery he expertly
directed, while under constant enemy fire,
killed approximately fifty German soldiers and
wounded an estimated one hundred more,
preventing what would have undoubtedly
been heavy friendly casualties. His actions
are in keeping with the highest traditions of
military service and reflect great credit upon
himself, the 3d Infantry Division, and the
United States Army.
