Herbert W. Lesnick;Technician Fifth Grade(then Private First Class), Headquarters Battery, 133rd Field Artillery Battalion, for heroic achievement in combat on 19 January 1945 in France. While Private First Class Lesnick was serving as a driver for an artillery liaison section attached to an infantry battalion, the enemy attacked in great strength and penetrated the friendly lines. The wire line to the artillery battalion was frequently out by heavy enemy artillery fire, and Private First Class Lesnick volunteered to service the line. Working continuously for four hours under enemy observationand heavy shellfire, he succeeded in maintaining uninterrupted communications. As a result of his courage and initiative, the forward observers were able to direct effective fire on enemy positions, materially aiding the infantry troops in halting the strong enemy attack. Entered the Service from Los Angeles, California.
