Harvey, Frank A. A/S/Sergeant (G32781) Mention in Despatches (Posthumous)

"In the early morning of 4 Jan 44, S/Sgt Harvey's Section led a company attack on Hill 1025, between Mt. Majo and Summucro, Italy. After destroying an outpost MG position, the section was pinned down by three MG's and rifle and MP fire. with complete disregard for his own safety S/Sgt Harvey moved about among his men, assuring them and instructing them for an assault on the enemy positions. The terrain was barren rock with little or no cover, his only concealment being the darkness of the night. The enemy on the other hand was well dug in and concealed in the brush and projecting rocks, about 200 yards up the hill. Despite these unfavorable conditions, he rose and charged the nearest position, firing his TSMG. About 15 feet away from the position he tossed a had grenade into the nest and put the gun out of action. Still under fire from the remaining two (2) positions and a considerable number of rifles he quickly mustered his remaining men and charges another position in a similar manner, successfully putting it out of action. By this time his section was disorganized in the darkness, each man engaging his own target. There was still one MG nest firing continuously and keeping the greater part of the company pinned down. With dauntless courage he charge this position, firing is TSMG. He was cut down within 10 feet of the position suffering mortal wounds in the abdomen and groin, but succeeded in knocking it out.

S/Sgt. Harvey's conspicuous gallantry not only resulted in his destruction of three well fortified enemy MG positions, but he so inspired the Company that they soon captured Hill 1025."
