_(Citation for Dinco, Quinton and Williams: Source General Order 25, dated 29 March, 1945 - _For heroic achievement in action on 24 February 1945. With enemy snipers active, these men courageously removed 26 155mm artillery shell duds and 12 anti-tank mines from a sewer in Forbach, France, where they had been placed by the enemy, and, at great personal risk, carried the explosives three miles to a place where they would not endanger the lives of others. Their heroic actions prevented these missiles from creating devastation which would have seriously hampered operations and delayed the capture of the city.
