| [Add A Photo] | |  | William Russell Huber, After a boiler accident on the U.S.S. Bruce which was at the Naval Shipyard, Norfolk, Virginia, Machinist's Mate William Huber without hesitation and in complete disregard of his own safety, entered the steam-filled fireroom and at grave risk to his life succeeded by almost superhuman efforts in carrying Charles H. Byran to safety. Although having received severe and dangerous burns about the arms and neck, he descended with a view toward rendering further assistance. The great courage, grit, and determination displayed by Huber on this occasion characterized conduct far above and beyond the call of duty. |
