Citation... For
gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the
call of duty on 16 November 1944, in Germany. T/Sgt. Lindsey assumed a
position about 10 yards to the front of his platoon during an intense
enemy infantry-tank counterattack, and by his unerringly accurate fire
destroyed 2 enemy machinegun nests, forced the withdrawal of 2 tanks,
and effectively halted enemy flanking patrols. Later, although painfully
wounded, he engaged 8 Germans, who were reestablishing machinegun
positions, in hand-to-hand combat, killing 3, capturing 3, and causing
the other 2 to flee.
