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 Walter H. Wunsch (ASN: 37692835), United States Army, for gallantry in action while serving with Company C, 363d Medical Battalion, 63d Infantry Division, in action on 6 March 1945, in the vicinity of Bubingen, Germany. After volunteering to enter a minefield to reach a wounded man, Private First Class Wunsch stepped on a schu-mine and suffered multiple wounds of the feet and legs, but continued his way to the wounded man and administered first aid. The utter disregard for his own safety and well being in favor of an injured soldier is in accord with the highest traditions of the Medical Department. The courage displayed by Private First Class Wunsch was an inspiration to all who witnessed his actions and contributed greatly to the comfort of the wounded man under fire. His gallant actions and dedicated devotion to duty, without regard for his own life, were in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Army.
