The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Corporal Murry M. Williams (ASN: 37037348), United States Army, for gallantry in action while serving with Headquarters Battery, 175th Field Artillery Battalion, 34th Infantry Division, on ** April 1943, in the vicinity of *****, Tunisia, North Africa. About noon, while on duty at a forward observation post, Corporal Williams sighted a wounded infantry man lying some distance in front of the observation post and despite heavy machine gun, mortar and anti-tank fire, and disregarding his own safety, made two separate trips to the wounded man to bring him water and to make him comfortable. At dusk Corporal Williams, with a companion, again went forward and evacuated the wounded man. The courage and coolness under fire displayed by Corporal Williams is meritorious and a credit to the Armed Forces of the United States.
