Received an accomodation in 1944, it reads as follows:
HEADQUARTERS
45TH FIELD ARTILLERY BATALLION
APO # 8 U.S. ARMY
16 JULY 1944
SUBJECT: OUTSTANDING WORK OF LIAISON OFFICER.
TO: COMMANDING GENERAL, 8TH INF. DIV. ARTY.

1. Captain Everett C. Owens, Jr., acting liaison officer in the 45th FA Bn, during the past ____ days has been doing work far beyond that normally called for in his assignment. He has worked with the 1st. Bn. 28th Infantry during the initial days of the present engagement receiving high commondations from the Bn. Commander and other Infantry commanders of the unit with which he has worked, for the manner in which he has steadfastly gone night after night without relief, stuck by that batallion to give them the needed artillery support. Both Lt. Col Chapla and Major Ward of that unit have mentioned how invaluable he has been to them.

2. He was due for relief when the 13th Infantry took over the sector of the 28th. Because members of the relief officers group were hit by shell fire, Captain Owens stayed on the job taking over the re-establishment of contact and communications, this despite his own men being depleted by enemy actions. At one time in order to maintain communication and gain artillery fire for that unit, he personally managed the laying of wire along the what at that time was part of the front line. This he did under under small arms and mortar fire. An enemy explosive, as related to me by an eye witness, Lt. Williamson, burst within six feet of him knocking him down completely. Lt. Williamson believed him dead as he rushed back to see what he could do. Despite this severe buffeting, Captain Owens got up, continued with his work and remained on assignment until the artillery for that unit was organized. When his communications went out, he volunteered for patrol assignment, which is purely an infantry roll. He has been aggressive, determined, and has done utstanding work wherever he has been sent.
