Cased US Bronze Star medal named Ralph R. Harper
Cased US Bronze Star medal named Ralph R. Harper in good condition. Ralph R. Harper enlisted on January 11th 1942. His ASN was 13047857
PFC Ralph R. Harper, service number 13047857, served as an infantryman in Company B of the 110th Infantry Regiment, part of the 28th Infantry Division known as the Bloody Bucket. During the autumn of 1944, his unit was positioned along a thin defensive line in Luxembourg. On December 16, the German Army launched the massive Ardennes Offensive, now known as the Battle of the Bulge, directly into Ralph’s sector. His company was tasked with a desperate “hold at all costs” mission in the towns of Marnach and Clervaux to delay German tanks. After days of intense combat against overwhelming armored forces, Company B was surrounded and overran. Ralph was officially reported Missing in Action on December 20, 1944, but was actually captured and held as a Prisoner of War at Stalag 4B Mühlberg in Germany. He remained in captivity until the spring of 1945, when he was liberated and returned to American military control on May 29, 1945. I have compiled all the information I found in morning reports researching his name and ASN.
Official Military Record: Ralph R. Harper
