✦ DISTINGUISHED SERVICE CROSS ✦
Frederick L. Bach
First Lieutenant · Infantry · Class 242A (1943)
First Lieutenant Frederick L. Bach, Jr. IN 242A-1943 was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for actions on 10 October 1944 while serving with Company L, 3d Battalion, 3d Battalion, 137th Infantry Regiment, 35th Infantry Division, France. Disregarding enemy fire, Lieutenant Bach fearlessly made his way to the injured man, rendered immediate first aid, and then carried him to shelter. Returning to his previous position in front of his platoon, Lieutenant Bach then led his men against the building where the enemy had established a strong point. He first threw a grenade through a window on the first floor, then made a room-to-room search of the house and determined that the enemy had taken refuge in the cellar. Directing his men to surround the house he threw grenades down the cellar ramp and was successful in securing the surrender of one enemy officer and fifteen enlisted men.
