He died at age 58 and was buried at the Fort Sill Post Cemetery near Lawton , Oklahoma . Medal of Honor citation . Captain Treadwell ' s official Medal of Honor citation reads : Capt . Treadwell ( then 1st Lt . ) , commanding officer of Company F , near Nieder - Wurzbach , Germany , in the Siegfried line , single - handedly captured 6 pillboxes and 18 prisoners . Murderous enemy automatic and rifle fire with intermittent artillery bombardments had pinned down his company for hours at the base of a hill defended by concrete fortifications and interlocking trenches . Eight men sent to attack a single point had all become casualties on the bare slope when Capt . Treadwell , armed with a submachinegun and handgrenades , went forward alone to clear the way for his stalled company . Over the terrain devoid of cover and swept by bullets , he fearlessly advanced , firing at the aperture of the nearest pillbox and , when within range , hurling grenades at it . He reached the pillbox , thrust the muzzle of his gun through the port , and drove 4 Germans out with their hands in the air . A fifth was found dead inside . Waving these prisoners back to the American line , he continued under terrible , concentrated fire to the next pillbox and took it in the same manner . In this fort he captured the commander of the hill defenses , whom he sent to the rear with the other prisoners . Never slackening his attack , he then ran across the crest of the hill to a third pillbox , traversing this distance in full view of hostile machine gunners and snipers . He was again successful in taking the enemy position . The Germans quickly fell prey to his further rushes on 3 more pillboxes in the confusion and havoc caused by his whirlwind assaults and capture of their commander . Inspired by the electrifying performance of their leader , the men of Company F stormed after him and overwhelmed resistance on the entire hill , driving a wedge into the Siegfried line and making it possible for their battalion to take its objective . By his courageous willingness to face nearly impossible odds and by his overwhelming one - man offensive , Capt . Treadwell reduced a heavily fortified , seemingly impregnable enemy sector .

Christopher Blount Sir Christopher Blount ( 1555 / 1556 – 18 March 1601 ) was an English soldier , secret agent , and rebel . He served as a leading household officer of Robert Dudley , 1st Earl of Leicester . A Catholic , Blount corresponded with Mary , Queen of Scots ' s Paris agent , Thomas Morgan , probably as a double agent . After the Earl of Leicester ' s death he married the Dowager Countess , Lettice Knollys , mother of Robert Devereux , 2nd Earl of Essex . Blount became a comrade - in - arms and confidant of the Earl of Essex and was a leading participant in the latter ' s rebellion in February 1601 . About five weeks later he was beheaded on Tower Hill for high treason . Career . Christopher Blount was born in Kidderminster , Worcestershire , the younger son of Thomas Blount , a relative of Robert Dudley , 1st Earl of Leicester on the Earl ' s mother ' s side , and one of his chief household officers until his death in 1568 . Blount ' s mother was Mary Poley from a Suffolk Catholic family . As a child Christopher Blount was sent to Louvain to be privately tutored by William Allen . Despite being a Catholic , he was Gentleman of the Horse to the Earl of Leicester by 1584 . He corresponded with Thomas Morgan in Paris , the exiled agent of Mary , Queen of Scots . Apparently Blount offered to " do [ her ] notable service " . In his dealings with Morgan Blount probably had the backing of Leicester and Francis Walsingham , Queen Elizabeth ' s spymaster . Leicester trusted Blount , calling him " Mr . Kytt " and caring for his well - being . Blount served in the Netherlands Campaign from 1585 till 1587 , when Leicester was Governor - General there . In the spring of 1589 , about seven months after the Earl ' s death , Blount married his widow , Lettice Knollys , whom Queen Elizabeth hated for having married the Earl of Leicester . Accordingly , Robert Devereux , 2nd Earl of Essex , Lettice ' s son and the new favourite of the Queen , termed this an " unhappy choice " . Lettice seems to have been very happy with her choice , as is shown by her later correspondence . Lady Leicester ( she continued to be styled thus ) and Sir Christopher were busy repaying the Earl of Leicester ' s colossal debts and were engaged in numerous lawsuits because of this . Blount was Member of Parliament for Staffordshire , where he lived , in the Parliaments of 1593 and 1597 ; he was elected at the instance of the Earl of Essex , who was influential in the county . In 1596 , Blount was a colonel in the Cadiz expedition , and in 1597 in that to the Azores . One of the main followers of the Earl of Essex , he became much involved in the latter ' s rebellion in 1601 . On Sunday , 8 February , he tried to raise London , riding side by side with his stepson , the Earl , and was badly wounded in the cheek . Following his arrest , he was carried on a litter to his trial , still weak from his hurt . He was beheaded about four weeks after Essex on Tower Hill for high treason .
