WWII: Battle of Guadalcanal *Medal of Honor* He made his way to units trapped by Japanese machine-gun fire and then led an assault on enemy positions, breaking enemy resistance Col. Charles W. Davis, U.S. ARMY (DECEASED): WWII, Guadalcanal. On 12 January 1943, Maj. Davis (then Capt.), executive officer of an infantry battalion, volunteered to carry instructions to the leading companies of his battalion which had been caught in crossfire from Japanese machineguns. With complete disregard for his own safety, he made his way to the trapped units, delivered the instructions, supervised their execution, and remained overnight in this exposed position. On the following day, Maj. Davis again volunteered to lead an assault on the Japanese position which was holding up the advance. When his rifle jammed at its first shot, he drew his pistol (M1911) and, waving his men on, led the assault over the top of the hill. Electrified by this action, another body of soldiers followed and seized the hill. The capture of this position broke Japanese resistance and the battalion was then able to proceed and secure the corps objective. After spending over 32 years in active Army duty, Charles Davis retired with rank of Colonel, and passed away of a heart attack.
