The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Private First Class Webster Templeton (ASN: 34178730), United States Army, for gallantry in action while serving with Battery B, 60th Field Artillery Battalion, 1st Armored Division, in action against the enemy at Djebel, Maemia, Maknasay, Tunisia, on 25 March 1943. A soldier of a nearby organization was wounded by enemy machine gun fire and left lying on the battlefield. Private First Class Templeton, accompanied by an officer, voluntarily and without hesitation went through heavy and close enemy machine gun and small arms fire to reach the wounded soldier and administer first aid to him. The gallantry and concern for the welfare of a wounded comrade with complete disregard for his own, displayed by Private First Class Templeton, reflect great credit upon himself and the command and are deserving of the highest praise.
