The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Second Lieutenant (Coast Artillery Corps) James C. Glasgow, United States Army, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action against the enemy while serving with Battery D, 3d Anti-Aircraft Artillery (Automatic Weapons) Battalion (Self Propelled), 3d Infantry Division, in action near Huksu-ri, Korea, on 2 December 1950. Lieutenant Glasgow was Assistant Platoon Leader in charge of an anti-aircraft automatic weapons section, which was furnishing protection at the rear of a convoy. Lieutenant Glasgow found a portion of the rear elements cut off by an enemy road block, and the infantry pinned down by enemy automatic fire. Under continuous enemy fire and with complete disregard for his personal safety, he directed two infantry mortar squads to fire on an enemy position. He then instructed the squad leader of the anti-aircraft weapon to lay fire on the enemy, at the same time instructing the mortar squad on the ground to continue firing on the enemy positions. Lieutenant Glasgow then directed the anti-aircraft weapon and two mortar squads to move ahead in order to shield the medical corps men in a jeep ambulance, who were giving first aid to the wounded. Lieutenant Glasgow’s actions resulted in either silencing or pinning down the enemy, thus effecting a successful withdrawal of the infantry with very few casualties. Second Lieutenant Glasgow’s outstanding initiative, fearless leadership, and gallantry are in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army.
