Jones, “when his company commander was wounded, gathered a group of men and led them for ward under intense machinegun fire to rescue the officer. With the aid of another enlisted man, he succeeded in dragging the officer from under the line of machinegun fire and to a place of cover and shortly thereafter to a place of rel ative safety. His heroic action, un der heavy machinegun fire, at grave personal risk, was in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service.” When a reconnaissance party of which he was a member was forced by intense enemy shelling to aban don their vehicle and seek shelter, Sgt. Palmer made a brief recon naissance, improved the shelter and assumed the responsibility of lea dership and control of the other enlisted man with him. For three hours, Sgt. Palmer acted as runner and messenger for his commander, who proceeded for ward on foot to the frontline, exe cuted orders and transmitted mes sages over difficult terrain al though constantly exposed to dan ger.
