Private who received a single Distinguished Service Cross, a second-level award. No other claim to fame. Completely fails WP:SOLDIER and every other standard. Deprodded with the comment "incorrect reasoning for deletion, he received five awards". The other awards were the Purple Heart, awarded simply because he was killed in combat, two service medals and a qualification badge. Being killed in action is not a claim to notability. -- Necrothesp (talk) 20:14, 19 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as still nothing for actual independent notability of his own. SwisterTwister talk 05:15, 27 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
