By direction of the
President, under the
provisions of the Act of
Congress approved 9 July
1918 (Bulletin 43, WD,
1918), a Slaver Star is
awarded posthumously by the
Commanding General, XI
Corps, to the following
named officer and enlisted
men:
Technician Fifth Grade
Lloyd S. Allen,
14818965, Medical
Department, United States
Army. For gallantry in
action at Corregidor,
Philippine Islands on 16
February 1945. Technician
Allen, while performing the
duties of an Aid man during
the Corregidor Campaign ,
was treating a seriously
wounded soldier. Upon
examination he determined
the dire need for additional
blood plasma for the wounded
man. This much needed plasma
was in an exposed position
approximately 30 yards away
in an area subjected to
enemy fire; without
hesitation and with complete
disregard for his own
personal safety, Technician
e Allen dashed across the
exposed area, secured the
Plasma, and upon returning
was mortally wounded. This
display of bravery and
devotion to duty by
Technician Allen is in
keeping with the highest
tradition of the military
service. Next of kin: Mrs.
Jenny Allen (mother), Route
No. 1, Clopton, Alabama.
Private George
J. Mikel, 7032312,
Infantry, United States
Army. For gallantry in
action on 19 February 1945
at Corregidor, Philippine
Islands. Private Mikel, a
platoon runner, voluntarily
and without orders placed
himself in an exposed
position from which he
directed mortar fire on a
strongly held enemy position
consisting of a concrete
railroad cut. Private Mikel,
although exposed to intense
enemy fire, maintained his
position, disregarded his
personal safety and directed
the mortar fire of his
platoon in such a manner
that heavy casualties were
inflicted on the enemy. His
outstanding performance of
duty, disregard of personal
Safety and outstanding
courage reflect great credit
on him and the military
service. Next of kin: Mrs.
Rose Caya (sister),
Lynxville, Wisconsin.
CAPTAIN EMMET R. SPICER,
0418702, Medical Corp,
United States Army. For
gallantry in action at
Corregidor, Philippine

1945. Upon landing by para
chute,Captain Spicer
immediately organized his
aid station and then
proceeded under heavy enemy
machine gun fire toward
Wheeler Battery, attempting
to evacuate the many wounded
personnel to the aid
station. He was fully aware
of the personal risk
involved,
