Receives Bronze Star

McComas j. Murphy, staff sergeant
of infantry, Company F, 253rd in
fantry regiment, was recently award
ed the bronze star medal for heroic
achievement in action on April 9th,
1915, in the vicinity of Buchof, Ger
many.
The citation reads when his squad
was ordered to withdraw, Sgt. Muir
ply, although seriously wounded in
the shoulder, remained in position
and covered the withdrawal. When
wounded a second time he still re-
manned in position until his squad
reached its new position.
"He then painfully crawled back
and was evacuated. Because of his
courage and aggressive action, his
squad was able to withdraw success
fully and many casualties were
avoided. Sgt Murphy's devotion to
duty reflects credit upon himself and
upon the armed forces of the United
States.
Murphy is a son of Mrs. Eta Muir
ply, of Deer Park. He entered the
service in February, 1913. He went
overseas last November and is now in
Ulm, Germany, with his infantry unit.
