Authority: G.O. 58 TUSA 12 September, 1944.
For extraordinary heroism action against the enemy on 30 July 1944 in France. Sergeant Gugala was leading a combat patrol on the right flank of his Company when his men suddenly came under intense enemy automatic weapons fire. Disregarding his own personal safety, Sergeant Gugala continuously exposed himself to the enemy's view in finding new tactical positions for his men and at all times kept his squad coordinated and concentrated against the main points of resistance. Although seriously wounded, Sergeant Gugala, seeing that particularly accurate fire from an enemy machine gun emplacement was hindering the advance on his squad, obtained an automatic weapon and deliberately charged the enemy, pouring a constant stream of fire at the position until it's fire was silenced. The outstanding initiative and distinctive heroism of Sergeant Gugala were a constant source of inspiration to the men of his organization and reflect great credit on the armed forces.
