Maynard Fenton

Private First Class Maynard Fenton, Infantry, Company B, 413th Infantry, United States Army, for gallantry in action in Germany on 1 March 1945. While clearing an enemy held ridge, Private Fenton personally, and under heavy fire, forced the surrender of an enemy pillbox. Later, when his platoon was pinned down by enemy fire, he neutralized this fire with his automatic rifle, permitting his comrades to withdraw to safety. These gallant actions, far beyond the call of duty, exemplify the finest military traditions, reflecting the highest credit upon Private Fenton and upon the armed forces of the United States. Entered military service from Greenwood, Delaware.
