News Mention:
Pfc. Joseph H. Lenoble, Kaukauna, has been posthumously awarded the Bronze Star Medal. On May 30 and Infantry Company was advancing along the narrow Humpback Bridge in the Philippines. Without warning the lead elements of the company were lashed by machine guns and rifle fire from well-fortified hostile strong point. Lenoble crawled 20 yards along the fire swept bridge to an exposed position and raked the hostile possession with accurate fire from his automatic rifle. This action enabled the forward element of the company to move forward and accomplish their mission. During the action Lenoble was fatally wounded.
