More information

Sgt Slonine enlisted in November, 1942 and was sent overseas in September 1944.

For voluntarily making trips under intense fire to evacuate wounded men to safe positions, an action in which he subsequently lost his life, Sgt Slonine was awarded the Bronze Star Medal posthumously. Although he knew a medical aid man had been wounded in the same operation, Sgt Slonine persisted in his efforts to rescue wounded men.
