In Memory Of for SGT Frederick W. Mausert, Marine Corps, Honored by North Adams Cemeteries
Korean War Medal of Honor Recipient. His mother posthumously received the award in 1952 during a ceremony at the Pentagon for his actions as a sergeant with Company B, 1st Battalion, 7th Marines, 1st Marine Division, at the Battle of the Punchbowl near Songnap-yongi, South Korea, on September 12, 1951.

Stunned and knocked to the ground when another bullet struck his helmet, he regained his feet and resumed his drive, personally silencing the machine-gun and leading his men in eliminating several other emplacements in the area. Promptly reorganizing his unit for a renewed fight to the final objective on
