(Citation Needed) – SYNOPSIS: Sergeant William L. Lamb (ASN: US-55117544), United States Army, was awarded the Silver Star for gallantry in action as a member of Company G, 180th Infantry Regiment, 45th Infantry Division, on 12 June 1952, in Korea. During a G Company raid on Hill 191, Sergeant Lamb broke through the enemy’s defending mortar, artillery, and machine-gun fire to assault enemy bunkers. While the enemy troops tried desperately to hit him with automatic-weapons fire and hand grenades, Sergeant Lamb quickly dodged from one place to another and succeeded in advancing so close to the enemy entrenchments that he was able to catch hand grenades thrown at him and hurl them back into the enemy positions. In this way, he destroyed several enemy bunkers. Then as he prepared to return to friendly positions with the raiding group, he discovered one of his comrades who had been seriously wounded by the hostile fire. Immediately and without consideration for his own safety, Sergeant Lamb placed the wounded man on his back and, still carrying his M1 rifle for protection, started back to friendly positions. Meanwhile he picked up an air panel and placed it so that supporting planes would not strafe the withdrawing raiders. He finally made his way back over the six hundred yard route, carrying his wounded comrade and firing his rifle continually to cover his withdrawal. By the outstanding bravery and determination displayed on this occasion, Sergeant Lamb inflicted severe losses on the enemy, protected his comrades from strafing by friendly planes while they raided enemy positions, and rescued a wounded comrade from theirenemy territory. This action reflects great credit on Sergeant Lamb and is in keeping with the highest traditions of the Infantry.
