07 October 1918 - ALVIN C. YORK GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND ON THE WESTERN
FRONT: Born poor in rural Tennessee, and a conscientious objector at the
outbreak of WWI, Corporal Alvin York now fights against the Germans in
the Argonne Forest, killing 25 and capturing 132 almost all on his own.
This heroism will promote him to Sergeant York and merit him the Medal
of Honor.

York (December 13, 1887 - September 2, 1964), also known by his rank as
Sergeant York, was an American soldier who was one of the most decorated
United States Army soldiers of World War I. He received the Medal of
Honor for leading an attack on a German machine gun nest, gathering 35
machine guns, killing at least 25 enemy soldiers and capturing 132
prisoners. York's Medal of Honor action occurred during the United
States-led portion of the Meuse - Argonne offensive in France, which was
intended to breach the Hindenburg line and force the Germans to
surrender. He earned decorations from several allied countries during
WWI, including France, Italy and Montenegro.
