Bayard Wharton '22 has been awarded the Italian Silver Medal for Valor for saving the life of a British aviator who was drowning in the Brenta River. After two Italian soldiers had been drowned in an attempt to rescue him, Wharton swam out to the aviator who was floundering in the swift current, and supported him until they reached shore.
