Congressional Medal Of Honor Citation
    Johannes S. Anderson, first sergeant, Company B, 132d Infantry, 33d Division.
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity above- and beyond the call of duty In
action with the enemy at Consenvoye, France, October 8, 1918. While his company was
being held up by intense artillery and machine-gun fire, Sergt. Anderson, without
aid, voluntarily left the company and worked his way to the rear of the nest that
was offering the most stubborn resistance. His advance was made through an open area
and under constant hostile fire, but the mission was successfully accomplished, and
he not only silenced the gun and captured it, but also brought back with him 23
prisoners. Residence at enlistment: 4816 West Ohio Street, Chicago, Ill.
