On October 8, 1918, Alvin York single-handedly attacked German gun nest killing at least 25 Germans and capturing another 132.
"CITATION
After his platoon had suffered heavy casualties and three other noncommissioned officers had become casualties, Cpl. York assumed command. Fearlessly leading seven men, he charged with great daring a machine-gun nest which was pouring deadly and incessant fire upon his platoon. In his heroic feat the machine-gun nest was taken, together with four officers and 128 men and several guns."
