Lt. Frank M. Hall, (MC) USNR, Jamestown, N. Y.: In charge of a naval beach party medical team during the invasion of Normandy, he swam three miles to shore when his own landing craft was sunk. Completely unmindful of his own danger, he labored under terrific enemy fire with such meager supplies as he was able to salvage from the dead and wounded, lie assumed command of all medical work on an additional beach when it was determined that the officer-in-charge was missing in action, and skillfully covered two beaches without relief until the afternoon of D-day-plus-two.
