Killed by enemy small arms fire while leading his platoon in assault on Hills 80 and 85 near Youngdong-po on outskirts of Seoul. Awarded Korean Service Medal, United Nations Service Medal, National Defense Service Medal, and Purple Heart. Presented the Navy Cross, according to citation: "Leading his platoon in an aggressive attack up a steep slope without cover against well-entrenched enemy positions on high ground, Second Lieutenant Guild cooly directed the deployment of his men and, exposing himself to hostile grenades and machine-gun, rifle and mortar fire, succeeded in personally destroying two of the enemy. Pressing onward at the head of his group in the face of the continued intense hostile barrage, he was fatally wounded but refused medical attention until all his men had been cared for and, despite his own critical condition, continued to direct the attack until he lost consciousness."
