follows:
'On May 21, 1944, the gun position
of an artillery troop situated midway
between Pontecorvo and Acgriino,
,was being subjectedto very heaty
shelling by the enemy. At one time
several shells landed at once in the
vicinity of Capt. Archibald, one of
which buried him 'and another killed
three men, mortally wounded a fourth
and seriously- wounded four others.
"This officer . immediately extri-
cated himself from the debris and
despite the eontinusons shelling,
organized the evacuation of the
wounded and gersonsally pulled out
the ammunition from the burning
trailer thus preventing another ex-
plosion and further loss of life. Al-
though suffering from severe 'burns,
Capt, Archibald realized that the re-
giment was taking an essential part
in the divisional artillery program
and that it was necessary, therefore;
foreverypossible gun to be in action
in order to obtain the desired fire
effect. Disregarding his personal
safety entirely; he re -organized his
troop and with great initiative and
determination caused his guns to
continue firing despite the continu-
ous shelling. His calmness and con-
fidence combined with his inspired
leadership were of considerable as-
sistance to the results obtained by
the supporting fire of the 'unit and
the subsequent success of the in-
fantry brigade."
