gun and small arms fire he crawled from his foxhole anc along a ridge

PRIVATE FIRST CLASS ROBERT A ANDERSON, RA32712543, Artillery, United
States Army, a member of Battery C, 15th Field ~il.rtillery Battalion, 2d ·
Infantry Division, displayed gallantry in action against an armed enemy
on 12 February 1951 in the vicinity of Changbong-nit Korea. Numerically
superior enemy forces had broken through front line elements and attacked
Battery C's position with heavy mortar, machine gun and small arms fire.
Despite the intense fire falling in the area Private Anderson remained
at his howitzer and continued firing upon the attacking enemy. When
the battery was forced to. withdraw, he march ordered his piece and carried
wounded men to a waiting vehicle. As the battery displaced rearward,
its leading vehicles were anbushed and captured by strong enemy forces
who were emplaced along the route of withdrawal. · Private Anderson, with
the rear elements, volunteered to act as a gunner on a hm~itzer which
was set in position to lay dir13c:t f'i;r-e upon the enemy. When the enemy
regrouped to attack the remat:nder, of the column, he poured such accur;:1te
fire into them that their assa.ultS: were driven off time after time.
When the battery was forced to ~ontinue . its withdrawal because of a lack
of ammunition, he volunteered to accompany several of his comrades to
rec:aptur~· th~ .lead vehicles from the enemy.
He then drove an ant'ia:ir.c raft
firing vehicle through the enemy roadblock and when the convoy WP.s once more
halted by enemy fire delivered from commanding ground, he aid13d an officer
in rallying the men in his vicinity and in leaning them in a charge which
swept the hostile troops from the high ground. With the road once more
opened, . Private lmderson drove his vehicle vwi th several · wounded . soldiers
to the . saf~ty of an aid statiot~:. · The , gallantry displayed by Private
Ander?Jon reflects great cred:it" upon himself and the military service. _.. Entered the military service , from New York •
