The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 2, 1926, takes pleasure in presenting the Soldier’s Medal to Private Finley Bailiff, United States Army, for heroism at the risk of life not involving conflict with an armed enemy as a member of Company A, 73d Tank Battalion, on 18 September 1955 near Tnejon-ni, Korea. While off duty, Private Bailiff learned that three American servicemen lay injured in a mine field, and quickly proceeded to the scene of the accident to assist in rescue operations. During the hours of darkness, and fully aware of the danger involved, Private Bailiff unhesitatingly probed through the dense brush and over-hanging vegetation and, with the help of a comrade, evacuated one of the ill-fated soldiers to safety. After administering emergency treatment to the suffering man, Private Bailiff headed an aid team and, entering the mined area a second and third time, rescued the other two casualties. Then he carefully surveyed the hazardous area for and alleged fourth victim, and repeated his search the following day to insure that no one was left in the mine field. Private Bailiff’s intrepidity and prompt, courageous actions reflect utmost credit on himself and uphold the honored traditions of the military service.
