Pfc. Charles Johnson: Many casualties resulted from the bitter fighting at Outpost Harry, near Surang-ni, Korea, during the night and early morning of June 11 to 12, 1953. Serving as a Browning Automatic Rifleman assigned to Company B, 15th Infantry Regiment, 3d Infantry Division, Pfc. Johnson acted without regard to his personal safety against an overwhelming attack on his unit’s position. Ignoring his own injuries, he rendered aid to wounded soldiers and moved them into a bunker to protect them from further harm. He then positioned himself between the wounded and the enemy and exacted a grave toll on the attacking Chinese Communist forces. As he moved throughout the trench network atop Outpost Harry looking for additional survivors, he was killed in action while creating conditions for their rescue.
