Image Title:
William Henry Johnson and Needham Roberts

Note:
"Though both were wounded, they continued to fight the Germans and defend the French line. Roberts' wounds disabled him enough to allow the Germans to attempt to drag him away as a prisoner. Henry Johnson, who attacked the Germans with a bolo knife, rescued Roberts and repelled the attack, saved him from this fate." [aaregistry.org] Learn More
