When the
advance of the assault elements Private Minue's company was held
up by flanking fire from an enemy machinegun nest, Private Minue
voluntarily, alone, and unhesitatingly, with complete disregard
of his own welfare, charged the enemy entrenched position with
fixed bayonet. Private Minue assaulted the enemy under a
withering machinegun and rifle fire, killing approximately ten
enemy machine gunners and riflemen. After completely destroying
this position, Private Minue continued forward, routing enemy
riflemen from dugout positions until he was fatally wounded. The
courage, fearlessness and aggressiveness displayed by Private
Minue in the face of inevitable death was unquestionably the
factor that gave his company the offensive spirit that was
necessary for advancing and driving the enemy from the entire
sector.
