"Pfc. Bishop T.WOODSON, also Company B, advanced with a combat patrol to clear buildings on his company’s flank. After he and his companion captured nine Germans in one house, the enemy in adjoining buildings cut off the patrol’s withdrawal by laying down heavy machine gun and small arms fire. At great risk to his life, WOODSON flanked an enemy gun and wiped out its crew with hand grenades."
