Pfc. Walter R. Rimke, 1115 W. Fifth Street, is a member of the 35th infantry division near Coblentz, Germany, which has been awarded battle honors and a unit citation by the war department for “outstanding performance of duty in action, July 15 to 19, 1944,” in the regiment’s capture of Hill 122 near St. Lo, France. The citation read in part “The magnificent gallantry, heroism, teamwork and will to win displayed by the First battalion, 134th infantry, in this crucial operation, characterized by countless deeds of individual and group heroism, and its tremendously significant part in the action on Hill 122, at the approaches to St. Lo, contributes immeasurably to a major victory for the United States.”
