    07 October 1918 - ALVIN C. YORK GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND ON THE WESTERN
    FRONT: Born poor in rural Tennessee, and a conscientious objector at the outbreak of WWI, Corporal Alvin York now fights against the Germans in
    the Argonne Forest, killing 25 and capturing 132 almost all on his own.
    This heroism will promote him to Sergeant York and merit him the Medal
    of Honor.

    York (December 13, 1887 - September 2, 1964), also known by his rank as Sergeant York, was an American soldier who was one of the most decorated
    United States Army soldiers of World War I. He received the Medal of
    Honor for leading an attack on a German machine gun nest, gathering 35
    machine guns, killing at least 25 enemy soldiers and capturing 132
    prisoners. York's Medal of Honor action occurred during the United
    States-led portion of the Meuse - Argonne offensive in France, which was intended to breach the Hindenburg line and force the Germans to
    surrender. He earned decorations from several allied countries during
    WWI, including France, Italy and Montenegro.
