Truck Driver Wins Silver
Star for Saving IL Lives

With the Fifth Army, Italy.-For
taking IL wounded paratroopers
from the front lines to safety with
his truck. after officers said it was
impossible, Pvt. Woodall 1. Marsh,
of 6 Miller ST., Pittsburgh, Pa, has
been awarded the Silver Star, the
War Department announced today.
Maj. Gen. John p. Lucas presented
the award to Pvt. Marsh at cere-
mony held near the front lines on
December 81. 1943 Pvt. Marsh thus
became the first Negro to receive the
Silver Star in this theater.
Pvt Marsh drove his truck
through water up to the hubs of the
wheels, and under terrific fire from
the enemy, to reach the paratroop-
erS. He had to build his own road
as he went along, making his trip
long and tiresome
On his return trip, Pvt. Marsh had
to select an alternate route, which
proved as hazardous as the journey
forward. He was forced to dig his
truck out of the muck and mire
many times. For thirty minutes,
during the trip, he was subjected to
heavy mortar and artillery fire.
When he was told that he could
not make it because the water was
too deep, Pvt. Marsh replied: well,
there's dirt underneath it, amt
there?" and proceeded to ford it. He
covered three miles in getting out
near Macctaia D'Linnia on Novem-
her 8, 1913.
