Many of the wounded needed immediate evacuation for medical attention which was an extremely dangerous task due to the heavy enemy fire. Corporal Ingle, with total disregard for personal safety, voluntarily assisted in moving the wounded men on litters to one quarter ton vehicles waiting to carry them to medical stations. Although moving under intense enemy fire, Corporal Ingle continued evacuating the wounded for approximately four hours. His courageous actions reflect great credit upon himself and the military service.

At this time the enemy was launching an all-out offensive along the Naktong River and the casualty rate was extremely high. Disregarding the heavy enemy machine gun, mortar and artillery fire, corporal James repeatedly risked his life as he assisted the jeep driver in evacuating the wounded from positions forward of the front lines. On many occasions, his actions were of a purely voluntary nature and were far beyond those expected in the course of normal duty. By his heroic performance during this critical period, Corporal James fully upheld the finest traditions of the military service.

By direction of the President, under the provisions of Executive Order 9419, 4 February 1944 (Sec II WD Bul 3, 1944), and pursuant to authority contained in AR 600-45, the Bronze Star Medal with the letter “V” device for heroic achievement in connection with military operations against an armed enemy of the United States is awarded to Private Paul E. Johnston, Army Medical Service, United States Army, a member of Medical Company, 23d Infantry Regiment, 2d Infantry Division, distinguished himself by heroic achievement on 14 September 1950 in the vicinity of Yongsan, Korea. On that date he was a medical aid man attached to the mortar section of a rifle company whose defensive positions were under heavy attack by the enemy. When three men were wounded during a heavy enemy mortar barrage, he immediately administered first aid to the wounded. That evening the enemy infiltrated close enough to subject the mortar section to small arms fire. During this action another man was severely wounded, and again Private Johnston left his position of relative safety and administered first aid in a most exposed position. His expert treatment of the wounded during this action, although administered under the most adverse conditions, undoubtedly saved at least one life, since the situation was so critical that none of the wounded could be evacuated until the following morning. The heroism displayed by Private Johnston on this occasion reflects great credit upon himself and the military service.
