LTC John C. O'Brien Legion of Merit Citation
#2

Working under hazardous conditions he trained personnel to

operate the plant, and constantly inspected the roads which were being

repaired with the materials in order to further improve his product.

Captain O’Brien’s plant was also able to supply other engineer units

on the beachhead with sufficient cold patching material so that they

could repair and maintain their individual road nets and the plant

proved so successful [that its*] duplicate had ordered to be constructed

by higher authorities.

 

*These two words are difficult to make out on the scanned copy. “That its” seems to be the best fit contextually.

 

Very cool, brother mine.

 

Looks like "that a" to me but I guess it makes sense either way.

 

Thank you for finding and transcribing this.

 

John
