When the advance of the infantry was slowed down by enemy minefields, Corporal Sisk and two other engineers volunteered to clear a gap in the minefields. He moved out over three hundred yards of open terrain, running and crawling under a heavy barrage of enemy fire to assist in the removal of over fifty enemy mines. When this mission was completed, he assisted in the laying of mine roadblocks under fire, to protect the flanks of an infantry company. His personal courage and disregard for his own safety in an untiring devotion to duty are in accordance with the highest military traditions. Entered the military service from Missouri. ~source: General Orders #361; July 19 1945; Headquarters 78 Infantry Division; APO 78, US Army Contributor: Sheila Y. (46516735)
