LTC (then Captain) CHARLES B. BRYAN, Infantry, Company L, 358th Infantry Regiment, 90th Infantry Division, United States Army. For extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations against an armed enemy in France. On 10 November 1944, Captain Bryan fearlessly led his company in a bold assault on a strong enemy position near INGLANGE, FRANCE, inspiring his men by his conspicuous, heroic leadership. Following his example, the company assaulted with bayonets and grenades and killed and captured nearly a hundred of the enemy. On 11 November, Captain BRYAN again distinguished himself by personally leading his company against another strong enemy position, again inspiring his men to take the objedctive and inflict tremendous losses of men and materiel upon the enemy. His heroic determination and courageous devotion to duty reflect great credit upon himself and are in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service.

Mr. Bryan resided in South Carolina and was a life member.
