By direction of the President, under the provisions of the act of Congress approved July 9, 1918 (Bul. No. 43, W.D., 1918), Master Engineer A. G. Oliver (ASN: 157638), United States Army, is cited by the Commanding General, 3d Division, American Expeditionary Forces, and a silver star may be placed upon the ribbon of the World War I Victory Medals awarded him. While serving with Headquarters Detachment, 6th Engineer Regiment, 3d Division, American Expeditionary Forces, at Claire Chenes Woods, France, on 20 October 1918, Master Engineer Oliver organized first aid parties in the open under observation of the enemy, carried and helped to carry wounded back to a dressing station. Some of these men had lain in the open all morning, and many would have undoubtedly died of exposure but for his untiring work. He did work beyond his duty and showed absolute disregard for his own personal safety. His work was, at all times, inspiring to those serving under him.
