August L. Capelli

The following named Enlisted Men, Corps of Engineers, United States Army. For gallantry in action in the vicinity of Campomorse, Italy, on 29 May 1944. These men volunteered to go forward and remark a clear lane through a minefield which could no longer be determined due to incessant enemy artillery fire directed on this obstacle. Although forced to take cover several times from the intense artillery barrage covering the area, these men succeeded in remarking the safe lane through the minefield with complete disregard for their own personal safety. This action permitted our armor, which had been held up, to go through the gap and bring direct fire on the enemy gun positions covering the area. The initiative, courage and devotion to duty displayed by these men reflects the greatest credit upon themselves and the Armed Forces and is worthy of the highest praise.
