On 14th September; 1943 Charles E. Kelly from Pittsburgh took part in the defense of a three-story house in Altavilla; Italy. With access to a Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR); a tommy gun; a bazooka; an ’03 Springfield rifle from World War I; a carbine and an M-1; he was the lodestone of the defense of the house holding back the attackers enough to allow him and his men to fall back to their lines.
He utilised a 37mm anti-tank gun to clear out a sniper from a church steeple; as well as manually priming and hurling 60mm mortar shells to blunt an infantry attack through a ravine leading to the house. Earlier in the same day he was credited with clearing out a machine gun nest and killing as many as 40 of the enemy.
