Alfred L. Wilson

Technician 5th Grade Alfred Leonard Wilson (September 18, 1919 – November 8, 1944) was a United States Army soldier who received the Medal of Honor for his heroic actions during World War II.

[2] During a firefight on that day, near Bezange-la-Petite, France, Wilson was severely wounded but refused evacuation and continued to treat other injured soldiers until he fell unconscious.

[3] He volunteered to assist as an aid man a company other than his own, which was suffering casualties from constant artillery fire.

Still refusing assistance himself, he remained to instruct others in dressing the wounds of his comrades until he was unable to speak above a whisper and finally lapsed into unconsciousness.

Wilson through distinguished devotion to duty and personal sacrifice helped to save the lives of at least 10 wounded men.
