7th Armored Division General Orders #26 (30 Jan 1945):
"III. POSTHUMOUS AWARD OF SILVER STAR: By direction of the President, and under the provisions of AR 600-45, as amended, and circular No. 2, Headquarters First United States Army, 4 January 1945, the Silver Star is posthumously awarded to: Private Arthur O. Bosley (Army Serial Number 37355603), Medical Department, formerly 814th Tank Destroyer Battalion, United States Army, for distinguishing himself by gallantry in action in Holland, from 27 October 1944 to 29 October 1944. Entered the military service from Colorado."
"Pvt. Arthur O. Bosley (Army serial number 37355604), Medical Department, while serving with the Army of the United States, distinguished himself by gallantry in action in connection with military operations against the enemy from 27 October 1944 to 29 October 1944, in the area of Asten, Holland. During the fierce action in Holland, Pvt. Bosley repeatedly braved death to aid his wounded comrades. When an ammunition half-track was hit and set afire trapping a wounded lieutenant, Pvt. Bosley unhesitatingly went to his rescue. Despite the great danger from the exploding load of shells, he succeeded in moving the officer to safety, saving his life. During the same engagement, Pvt. Bosley moved thru heavy artillery, mortar and small arms fire to evacuate seriously wounded troops. While moving back across the fire-swept field to help still other casualties, Pvt. Bosley was killed when his unarmored 1/4-ton truck sustained a direct hit from an 88-mm gun. His courageous devotion to duty and spirit of self sacrifice, even at the cost of his own life, reflect high credit upon himself and the armed forces."
