A bronze star medal has been
posthumously awarded to First
Lt. Ralph Lamb, the medal hav
ing been sent to his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. C. E. Lamb, North Cen
tral avenue, recently. The dec
oration was forwarded through
Col. John R. Young, Camp

Lt. Lamb, 24 at the time of his
death, received the medal for an
act of heroism Dec. 14, 1944, in
Franch which resulted in his
death. The citation which ac
companied the medal reads "Dur
ing the afternoon of Dec. 14,
while our troops were attacking,
radio communications between
our mortar section and the com
pany commander failed at a crit
ical time when the battalion
commander directed our mortar
fire to be shifted so that troops
could enter the town. Lt. Lamb
went forward from the battalion
observation post to the mortar
observers, braving intense en
emy fire, and succeeded in shift
ing our fire. This mission was
undertaken with full knowledge
of the danger and also the neces
sity for reaching the mortar ob
servers. Prior to being fatally
wounded, he succeeded in his
mission. His actions reflect the
highest traditions of the military
service."
The officer attended grade
school in Medford and graduated
from Eagle Point high school be
fore attending Southern Oregon
College of Education. He had
been a member of the local unit
of the National Guard and had
been in the regular army since
before Pearl Harbor. He was
