Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. William Ralph Shockley (December 4, 1918 - March 31, 1945) was a United States Army soldier and a recipient of the United States military's highest decoration-the Medal of Honor-for his actions in World War II. Shockley joined the Army from Selma, California, and by March 31, 1945 was serving as a private first class in Company L, 128th Infantry Regiment, 32nd Infantry Division. During a Japanese counterattack on that day, on the Villa Verde Trail in Luzon, the Philippines, he voluntarily stayed behind and provided covering fire while the rest of his unit retreated. Shockley was killed by the advancing Japanese soldiers. He was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor seven months later, on October 19, 1945.
