Berger Holton Loman

The President of the United States of America, in the name of Congress, takes pleasure in presenting the Medal of Honor to Private Berger Holton Loman (ASN: 1389565), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism on 9 October 1918, while serving with Company H, 132d Infantry, 33d Division, in action at Consenvoye, France. When his company had reached a point within 100 yards of its objective, to which it was advancing under terrific machinegun fire, Private Loman voluntarily and unaided made his way forward after all others had taken shelter from the direct fire of an enemy machinegun. He crawled to a flank position of the gun and, after killing or capturing the entire crew, turned the machinegun on the retreating enemy.
