Stanley L. Ginish, DSC Stanley Lawrence Ginish, Private First Class, Field Artillery, United States Army. For extraordinary heroism in action against the enemy at New Georgia, Solomon Islands, on July 14, 1943. Private Ginish and one other enlisted man voluntarily went into enemy occupied territory in order to re-establish telephone communication with an infantry battalion which was in a critical battle situation and was without artillery support. For almost six hours, he moved through dense jungles repairing and installing wire while under intermittent fire of snipers and patrols. At one point in the line where the Japanese returned three times and cut the wire as soon as he had repaired it, Private Ginish stood guard under sniper fire and held off the enemy while urgent artillery instructions were being transmitted. His courage and cool perserverance while under the prolonged strain of outwitting the enemy also made possible the transmission of vital infantry tactical messages.

Mr. Ginish was a life member.
