I came across this account of Gowdy's war record ...
Colonel B W Hough, commander of the 166th is quoted as saying that Gowdy was one of his top men in a regiment of many great soldiers. “Every outfit ought to have somebody like Hank,” said Colonel B W Hough, commander of the 166th Infantry Regiment. “The boys idolize him and he gets them all stirred up with his baseball stories. He helps ‘em forget about the terror of war. He carried the flag and . . . he was one of them who heaved gas bombs at the enemy . . . he was fantastic!”
