This is one of my favorites, a 1st Division grouping from a solider that won the bronze star for his actions as part of the initial first wave D-Day landings at Normandy. He was cited for bringing more ammunition up to the forward positions under intense enemy fire.

No WW2 1st Division collection is worth the weight in salt(LOL) unless it includes one of these.
