To honor service members killed in the line of duty, we dedicate Hero Squares in recognition of their memory.
William G. Walsh was born on April 7, 1922 in Roxbury, MA. He attended public schools in Boston before enlisting in the United States Marine Corps on January 6, 1942 and began active duty that same day. William served as Gunnery Sergeant in the 2nd Raider Battalion, 27th Marine Regiment, and the 5th Marine Division.
From Camp Lejeune, he went to Samoa and was assigned to a unit of Marine scouts. His next assignment was with the 2nd Marine Raider battalion, the famed Carlson's Raiders. During the United States' war with Japan in the Pacific, he saw action at Guadalcanal, Bougainville, Tarawa, and in the Russell Islands. He was killed in action at Iwo Jima, while leading his men against a fortified hill on February 27, 1945, he threw himself on a hand grenade, sacrificing his life to save the lives of fellow Marines. William was survived by his wife Mary Louise and family, residents of Roxbury.

Please join MassDOT and the City of Boston for a Design Public Hearing about the Safe Routes to Schools project for the Ellis Elementary and other schools in the Garrison Trotter neighborhood of Roxbury.
This project includes street changes to make it safer for students to walk to school by calming traffic at six intersections in the Garrison Trotter neighborhood:
Currently, the Walnut Ave corridor experiences excessive travel speeds, and there is a need to improve shorten the pedestrian crossings at Abbottsford St and Crawford St, and Humboldt Ave at Munroe St/Humboldt Court. The construction of raised intersections along Walnut Ave, a curb extension at Abbottsford and Crawford streets, and a median refuge island for the pedestrian crossings across Humboldt Ave at Munroe St and at Humboldt Court are proposed to improve safety.
