Now »he ha* a film contract. Sgt. Clarence D. Ix'ach, in the artillery of the Timber Wolf Divis­ ion here, has been awarded the ! Soldier’s Medal for his act in jump­ ing into a truck and driving it out of the way of danger, in the oil; fire of Sept 19. Word to that effect has come from Washington, D. C. , Five men were burned, one of j them being the sergeant, who was in the hospital for 20 days. A part­ ly filled barrel of waste oil had | exploded while soldiers were spreading oil for the burning of an area near the incinerator. Pvt. William O. Skaggs, who was burned slightly in beating out the fire in Leach's clothing, has been promoted to be technician, fifth grade. Both men have Lt. Col. W. P. Sammet as commanding officer. Sgt. Leach was an auto mechan­ ic at Hamilton, Texas, before en­ tering the service in 1940. The medal which will be formally pre­ sented later was established at the same time as the Distinguished Flying Cross, in 1926. It was in­ tended as a reward for heroism by­ members of the Army during time of peace, corresponding somewhat to the Navy Cross when that med­ al is granted for such services. Since the time of its establish­ ment. an average of two Soldier’s Medals per month have been award­ ed, principally to enlisted members of the Army. For the most part it has been granted for heroic deeds in life saving, with some few be­ ing presented for non-belligerent activities during the Japanese operations in China, in 19,38-1939.
