l __ BATTLE HONORS,-As authorized by Executive Order 9396 (sec. I, Bul.
22, WD, 1943), superseding Executive Order 9075 (sec. III, Bui. 11, WD, 1942),
the following unit is cited under the provisions of AR 260-15 in the name of the
President of the United States as public evidence of deserved honor and dlstinc-
tion. The cl tation reads as follows:
The Sd Battalion, £8th Infantry Regiment, is cited for exceptionally outstanding
performance of duty in action against the enemy in crossing the Roer River and
seizing a position in the vicinity of Stockhei:n Germany, on 23 and 24 February
1945. This battalion, having accomplished the difficult crossing prior to other
elements of its corps, and having suffered heavy casualties from enemy fire, in
addition to personnel and individual weapons lost when several assault boats
overturned in the torrential stream, attacked and seized an enemy-held trench
system near the bank of the river. An immediate distribution of captured arms
and ammunition was made to all unarmed personnel. The battalion, without
hooitation, continued the attack through wooded areas containing enemy-held
trenches and emplacements and on to the dominant terrain northwest of Stock-
helm, where a perimeter defensive position was organized. On 24 February,
completely isolated and surrounded, this unit repelled six determined counter-
attacks by superior forces, which included tanks and self-propelled guns supported
by intense artillery and mortar fire. Heavy co.sualties were inflicted on the
enemy. On being reached and relieved by other elements of the regiment, the
determined battalion seized and secured three other enemy-held towns in rapid
succession, further securing the exposed right flank of the division and corps and
contributing dlrectly to the rapid advance to the east of other attacking troops.
Throughout this heroic action, the men of the /'Jd Battalion, S8th Infantry Regi-
ment, distinguished themselves by great determination, outstanding aggressive-
ness, high combat efficiency, and indomitable courage in keeping with the highest
traditions of the Army of the United States.

are cited for exceptionally outstanding performance ot duty ln action against
the enemy on 2 and 3 April 1945 in tile vicinity of Pivitschied, Germnny. Fatigued

a formidable natural barrter, to seize and secure n pass through the enemy held
obstacle and permit passage of elements of the 2d Armored Division in its drive
to the Elbe River. Tile attack was launched In n cold, driving rain ngninst a
well-equipped and stubborn enemy force fighting from a cleverly prepared de-
fensive position. After bitter hand-to-hand. tlghting accompanied by intense
enemy fire, the bntto.llon seized n position on the crest of the ridge and there
turned back reperrted counterμ.ttacks by the determined enemy, On 8 April, the
battalion launched a combined infantry-tank attack, and, penetrating the final
positions, inflicted heavy casualties on the enemy and seized a town on the
enemy-held side of the ridge, In this heroic action, which conu·ibuted greatly to
the subsequent rapid advance to the Elbe River, the men of the 2d. Battalion,
