Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. William Wylie Galt (December 19, 1919 - May 29, 1944) was a United States Army officer and a recipient of the United States military's highest decoration-the Medal of Honor-for his actions in World War II. Galt joined the Army from Stanford, Montana, and by May 29, 1944 was serving as a captain in the 168th Infantry Regiment, 34th Infantry Division. On that day, at Villa Crocetta, Italy, he personally commanded an attack against German positions. He manned a machine gun on a tank destroyer at the front of the assault force, staying at his post in the vehicle's turret and continuing to lead his men despite intense hostile fire. He was killed while still manning his machine gun and, on February 1, 1945, was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor.
