Hero of the Second World War: "George was decorated with the Silver Star on March 7, 1945, by U.S. General Koenig, in England." CITATION FOR SILVER STAR {{block quote|GEORGE A. RAINVILLE, A--29576, Sergeant, Canadian Army, Second Company, First Special Service Force (a combined Canadian and American Force), for gallantry in action near Borgo Piave, Italy, on May 1 1944. Sergeant Rainville was in command of a light machine gun squad which was part of a force sent out to determine enemy strength when a bitter fire fight developed. Enemy small arms fire, mortar fire and artillery concentration was intense, as a result of which casualties were numerous. A member of Sergeant Rainville's crew was seriously wounded and abandoned when the enemy forced his crew to take a new position. Having determined the disposition of the enemy, a withdrawal was ordered. Unmindful of his own safety, Sergeant Rainville left the comparative security of a shallow ditch, crossed fifty yards of flat fireswept ground, picked up his helpless comrade and returned, and carried him for 800 yards over exposed terrain to a place of safety. The daring act and high regard of his fellow soldier's welfare reflect great credit upon Sergeant Rainville and the Armed Forced of the Allied nations.[1]}}PUBLIC LAW 113-16 -- JULY 12, 2013 113th CONGRESS An Act to grant the Congressional Gold Medal, collectively, to the First Special Service Force, in recognition of its superior service during World War II.
