DEMPSEY, CHARLES E.
Sergeant, Army Medical Department, U.S. Army
Medical Detachment, 274th Infantry Regiment
Date of Action: 6 January 1945
Citation:
The President of the United States of America, authorized by Executive Order 9419, 4 February 1944 (sec. II, Bul. 3, WD, 1944) the Bronze Star Medal with “V” device for heroic achievement in connection with military operations against an enemy of the United States during the period indicated is awarded to Sergeant Charles E. Dempsey, Army Medical Department, Army of the United States, a member of the Medical Detachment, 274th Infantry Regiment, distinguished himself by heroic achievement in connection with military operations against an armed enemy at Wingen-sur-Moder, France, on 6 January 1945. During a battalion attack against a numerically superior hostile force, several riflemen were wounded and lay out between the line, suffering from shock and exposure to the intense cold. Although other medical aid men considered it too dangerous to attempt rescue, Sergeant Dempsey, with another medical man, voluntarily braved the intense enemy small arms fire, secured a litter, and crawled out to the wounded men. Finding but two of the soldiers alive, the men made two trips into the treacherous, fire swept area, rescued both casualties, and returned them to safety. The prompt and courageous action taken by Sergeant Dempsey and his comrade undoubtedly saved the wounded men from death and reflects credit on himself and the military service.

One rifleman of a patrol had been severely wounded and was going into shock, but was denied medical attention because of heavy enemy fire which had pinned down the patrol. Corporal Dickerson volunteered to assist the soldier. He dragged him into a shallow recess and proceeded to administer blood plasma. Bullets from intermittent bursts of hostile fire were seen to strike around the two men but, despite this hazard, Corporal Dickerson administered the plasma and thereby enabled the badly wounded rifleman to be carried down the mountainside and to return to duty several months later. The voluntary, courageous action on the part of Corporal Dickerson in the face of heavy enemy fire was in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service.
