| Unit :
Company D, 378th Infantry Regiment
Rank
: Corporal
Killed on November 28, 1944 at Merten (France)
Activity during World War Two : Silver Star Citation: for gallantry in action against the enemy, from 15 November 1944 to 28 November 1944, in the vicinity of Metz, France. When the rifle platoon his machine gun section was supporting reached its objective near Fort de Feves leaderless and disorganized, Corporal Marx resolutely organized a defense deploying riflemen and guns so skillfully that a powerful German counter-attack was repulsed. During the following 2 weeks of fierce combat he served with unfailing courage until, on 28 November 1944, he was mortally wounded in the assault on Merten. His gallant initiative and leadership exemplify the highest traditions of the military service and reflect lasting honor on Corporal Marx. Campaigns : Northern France, Rhineland.
