Congressional Medal Of Honor Citation
  Phillip C. Katz, sergeant, Company C, 363d Infantry, 91st Division. For
conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty in action
with the enemy near Eclisfontaine, France, September 26, 1918. After his company had
withdrawn for a distance of 200 yards on a line with the units on its flanks, Sergt.
Katz learned that one of his comrades had been left wounded in an exposed position
at the point from which the withdrawal had taken place. Voluntarily crossing an area
swept by heavy machine-gun fire, he advanced to where the wounded soldier lay and
carried him to a place of safety. Residence at enlistment: 71 Parker Avenue, San
