Honored Allies Wednesday: Hughie Edwards (Australia)

                 Hughie Idwal Edwards

 

"Wing Commander Edwards, although handicapped by a physical disability resulting from a flying accident, has repeatedly displayed gallantry of the highest order in pressing home bombing attacks from very low heights against strongly defended objectives.  On 4th July, 1941, he led an important attack on the Port of Bremen, one of the most heavily defended towns in Germany.  This attack had to be made in daylight and there were no clouds to afford concealment.  During the approach to the German coast several enemy ships were sighted and Wing Commander Edwards knew that his aircraft would be reported and that the defenses would be in a state of readiness.  Undaunted by this misfortune he brought his formation 50 miles overland to the target, flying at a height of little more than 50 feet, passing under high-tension cables, carrying away telegraph wires and finally passing through a formidable balloon barrage.  On reaching Bremen he was met with a hail of fire, all his aircraft being hit and four of them being destroyed.  Nevertheless he made a most successful attack, and then with the greatest skill and coolness withdrew the surviving aircraft without further loss.  Throughout the execution of this operation which he had planned personally with full knowledge of the risks entailed, Wing Commander Edwards displayed the highest possible standard of gallantry and determination."

Medal of Honor Monday: Ellis R. Weicht

 

Ellis R. Weicht

 

"For commanding an assault squad in Company F's attack against the strategically important Alsatian town of St. Hippolyte on December 3, 1944.  He aggressively led his men down a winding street, clearing the houses of opposition as he advanced.  Upon rounding a bend, the group was suddenly brought under the fire of 2 machine guns emplaced in the door and window of a house 100 yards distant.  While his squad members took cover, Sgt. Weicht moved rapidly forward to a high rock wall and, fearlessly exposing himself to the enemy action, fired 2 clips of ammunition from his rifle.  His fire proving ineffective, he entered a house opposite the enemy gun position, and, firing from a window, killed the 2 hostile gunners.  Continuing the attack, the advance was again halted when two 20-mm guns opened fire on the company.  An artillery observer ordered friendly troops to evacuate the area and then directed artillery fire upon the gun positions.  Sgt. Weicht remained in the shelled area and continued to fire on the hostile weapons.  When the barrage lifted and the enemy soldiers attempted to remove their gun, he killed 2 crew members and forced the others to flee.  Sgt. Weicht continued to lead his squad forward until he spotted a road block approximate 125 yards away.  Moving to the second floor of a nearby house and firing from a window, he killed 3 and wounded several of the enemy. Instantly becoming a target for heavy and direct fire, he disregarded personal safety to continue his fire, with unusual effectiveness, until he was killed by a direct hit from an antitank gun."

From Sgt. Weicht's Medal of Honor citation, awarded on July 19, 1945.
