Sergeant Kocak
earned the Medal of Honor for heroism near Soissons, France,
during intense assaults upon enemy positions. When a hidden
machinegun nest halted the advance of his battalion, Sergeant
Kocak went forward alone unprotected by covering fire and worked
his way in between the German positions in the face of heavy
enemy fire. Rushing the enemy position with his bayonet, he
drove off the crew. Later the same day, Sergeant Kocak organized
French colonial soldiers who had become separated from their
company and led them in an attack on another machinegun nest
which was also put out of action.
