Award Military Medal S/Sgt. William G. Dickson Company A, 36th Armored Regiment 3rd Armored Division VII Corps (35897962)

During a strong attack against the enemy held town of Hoven, Germany, on 10th December 1944, Staff Sergeant DICKSON, a squad leader, volunteered to lead a patrol across open country and in plain view of the enemy in order to locate the exact position of a unit on his left flank with whom contact had been lost. Speed being essential in order to avoid delaying the attack, Staff Sergeant DICKSON selected the shorted route which provided no concealment. Displaying marked valor, he led the patrol across an open ridge under heavy enemy tank, artillery, mortar and small arms fire and established contact with the flank unit. His gallant actions and display of courage were an inspiration to the men of his command and reflect great credit upon himself.
