For extraordinary heroism in connection wi th milltary operationa against an
armed enemy. On 19 August 1944, in the vicinity of ARGENrAN, FRANCE, Private

tinguished himself above and beyond the ca.ll of du1:i,V'. In the face of intense
enemy fire and with utter disregard for his own safety he administered aid to
two companies, running the gauntlet of enemy fire to rea.ch stricken men. '/lhile
, 80 engaged he noticed that friendly artillery fire was falling on his unit. He
ran to the rear, under continuous fire, 10cate'd the artillery 0beerver and had
the fire lifted. He then returned to his unit and still under enemy fire re
sumed his aid duties. The courageous devotion to duty of Private ROWELL exem
plifies the highest tradi tions of the Armed Forces of the Uni ted statea.
