M/Sgt. William H. Drummond was awarded a Silver Star medal yesterday for "outstanding gallantry" in military action in Korea. Sgt. Drummond, an instructor in the University's ROTC unit, is the son of Mrs. Vivian Willsey of 409 Arbana Dr. In a ceremony at the University, Col. Virgil R. Miller (right), commander of the University ROTC unit, presented the medal. Drummond was cited for a one-man charge in which "he battered an enemy position with grenade and rifle fire." As a result of his "spectacular charge" he forced the enemy to flee the bunker. The citation cited him also for supplying ammunition to his men and assisting the wounded while under enemy fire.
