Capt. Julian Quarles, ’39 graduate, has been awarded an 4>ak Leaf Cluster to the Silver Star for “outstanding leadership and bravery under fire during the Fifth Army drive to capture strategic San Pietro.”
At San Pietro, where American forces were under heavy German artillery, mortar, and small arms fire, Quarles organized a platoon from remnants of several disorganized platoons and led them in at attack against the Germans. Enemy resistance forced the platoon to retreat behind a stone wall. Quarles discovered that one of his men had been wounded about seventy-five yards in front of the wall, and he crossed the fire-swept sector and carried the soldier back with the assistance of two men.
Capt. Quarles received his Silver Star for gallantry in action at Persano during the initial stages of the Fifth Army invasion of Italy. During this action his battalion was trapped, surrounded by German tanks, and he was taken prisoner.

While at the University, Julian was secretary and treasurer of Pi Chi social fraternity and was the intramural boxing champion. He is the son of Mrs. Cornelia T. Quarles, 1000 W. Twelfth court, MiamL
