Learning that the leader of an ambushed patrol had failed to return from hostile territory, Sergeant Boll unhesitatingly volunteered as a member of a rescue party although keenly aware that the route lay through hazardous terrain infested by numerically superior enemy forces. When the body of the patrol leader was discovered, Sergeant Boll bravely exposed himself to intense hostile machine gun, mortar and small arms fire in an effort to locate a route to friendly lines and continued to search for a trail until he was mortally wounded by the enemy. By his outstanding courage, daring initiative and selfless devotion to the fulfillment of a vital task, Sergeant Boll served to inspire all who observed him and upheld the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service. He gallantly gave his life for his country. General Orders: Commanding General, 1st Marine Division: Serial 14152 (May 27, 1952) ***********************************************
