The soldier you are referring to is Sergeant Alvin C. York, an American hero from World War I. During the Meuse-Argonne Offensive on October 8, 1918, he led an attack that resulted in the death of 25 German soldiers and the capture of 132 others, armed only with a rifle and a revolver. His bravery and tactical skill earned him the Medal of Honor and made him one of the most celebrated figures of the war.
