Notable Battle Hero: Pvt Van Noy in Courageous Last Stand
In a sunlit beach action near the Song River Pvt. Van Noy held a machine gun pit under heavy fire. He was killed by a grenade and rifle shot after single‑handedly repelling multiple barges with American and Australian support. His leadership, endured by Sgt Fuina and Cpl Popa, underscored a grim farewell to a fighter who fired every round.
