Johnston | Army | Private First Class | Anzio , Italy | February 17 , 1944 - February 19 , 1944 | Johnston was a machine gunner attached to the Third Platoon of his company and that platoon was the furthest advanced element in the Company 's defenses . About eighty Germans advanced under the cover of an artillery barrage in the darkness and were within about 200 yards of the platoon 's positions when they were discovered by Johnston who was at his gun . He manned his machine gun and the attack was halted . All during the day , without relief , he remained with his weapon and fired at every target that presented itself .

The Germans passed him as he lay in his position , and , believing him to be dead , stole his shoes . The next day , he painfully worked his way through the German lines to the 180th Regiment , after having been reported by the Company as killed in action . Despite his weakened condition , he gave accurate and vital information about the German positions on the base of which effective firing that was compiled | Herbert C.
