first rife, a 20, when he was IL.
Soon hunting became his main in
terest. He stalked small game in
Iowa and larger prey in Minnesota.
He is an expert with all types OF
small arms. He studies intelligence
reports on all enemy weapons and
SO far has managed to capture sam
pies of new types almost as soon as
they are reported.
His favorite as an auxiliary
weapon for his American carbine is
German Luger. TITS lighter and
more accurate than our As" he
explains.
One of Pvt. Lemke's favorite
stunts is to creep out alone to a
point behind the enemy lines and
cut their communications.
Then I just wait. When the
linesmen come out to repair the
break, I shoot them." he said.
Other times he studies the terrain
during the day to find which paths
the enemy is using. Then, after
dark, he takes up a concealed posi-
ton and waits for some one to come
along to shoot.

that he also will receive credit for
them.
When he was decorated, the lanky
Iowan ofi1cially was credited with
having single -handedly relieved a
squad cut of from the main Amer
ican force June %, near Castog-
nete, Italy. Pvt. Lemke asked to be
sent alone when the company COM
mander was preparing to send out a
patrol.
Armed with light carbine, Pvt.
Lemke pushed along a dry river bed
and through thickets. Suddenly he
spotted German armed with a
machine pistol and killed him. He
continued forward, armed with the
NaZi's machine pistol.
The official citation completes the
story: Continuing his advance, he
observed another German and shot
him with the machine pistol and
skillfully maneuvering toward the
beleaguerd squad, he located and
killed three more enemy soldiers to
clear all enemy resistance from the
rear and right rear of the squad.
Finally reaching the three remain
ing members of the squad, he led
