More information

Sgt Edward J. Hallman graduated from Lane Technical High School. He enlisted on 18 July 1941 in Chicago, Illinois.

Spearheaded by Company A, led the assault on the woods which had been covered by heavy artillery fire beforehand. The enemy position, though strong and well situated for a determined defense fell surprisingly easily. Apparently the enemy, battered by the heavy artillery concentration and demoralized by the assault of the large number of tanks in mass formation. decided to withdraw in the face of our troops overwhelming superiority- both in number and in fire-power. Ads had been anticipated, Noville fell easily enough after the woods had been takes.
