THE HEROIC STORY OF OUR LOST HERO "BERYL RICHARD NEWMAN OF BARABOO, HE MUST BE HONORED


 Beryl Richard Newman of Baraboo, Wisconsin, a First Lieutenant in the U.S. Army, was awarded the Medal of Honor for his extraordinary actions on May 26, 1944, near Cisterna, Italy.


Newman served with Company F, 133rd Infantry Regiment, 34th Infantry Division. On May 26, 1944, near Cisterna, Italy, Newman and his platoon approached a German machine gun emplacement. Newman, scouting ahead, remained standing under enemy fire to ascertain the positions of the emplacements. 


Noting them, he proceeded to lead a machine gun unit from his platoon to a position from which they could open fire on the Germans, but that was ineffective.

 Newman then single-handedly advanced on the two machine gun nests, wounding two Germans and causing the other two to flee. Newman and his platoon took eleven prisoners; Newman himself had destroyed three enemy machine gun emplacements.


Newman retired from the service with the rank of Captain. He died in 1998.
