The President of the United States of America, under the provisions of the Act of Congress approved July 9, 1918, takes pride in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross (Posthumously) to Captain (Signal Corps) Walt Whitman Bundy (ASN: 0-2053977), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations against an armed enemy of the United Nations while serving as Commanding Officer of Detachment E, 205th Signal Repair Company, attached to the 6th Republic of Korea Division, II Corps. Captain Bundy distinguished himself by extraordinary heroism in action against enemy aggressor forces near Wonju, Korea, on 2 October 1950. Captain Bundy bivouacked his detachment of two officers and seventeen enlisted men in a compound on the outskirts off Wonju near the division command post. At 0100 hours, the area was attacked by a banzai charge of approximately 2400 enemy troops which had apparently been by-passed in the surrounding hills. The position of Captain Bundy’s detachment was discovered by the enemy and the compound was subjected to extremely heavy, direct fire. The enemy troops then launched a frontal assault. Realizing the gravity of the situation, Captain Bundy ordered his detachment to withdraw via the rear wall and seek cover in the hilly terrain outside the compound. Utterly disregarding his own safety Captain Bundy remained in an exposed position near the front entrance to cover the withdrawal. Although he was thus able to save the enlisted men of his unit, he gallantly sacrificed his own life as the enemy stormed into the area in great strength overwhelming him completely. The extraordinary heroism displayed by Captain Bundy on this occasion reflects the greatest credit on himself and is in keeping with the high traditions of the military service.
