By direction of the President, under the provisions of the act of Congress approved July 9, 1918 (Bul. No. 43, W.D., 1918), Pharmacist’s Mate Second Class Frank O. Tibbetts, United States Navy, is cited by the Commanding General, SECOND DIVISION A.E.F., for gallantry in action and a silver star may be placed upon the ribbon of the Victory Medals awarded him. Pharmacist’s Mate Second Class Tibbetts distinguished himself by gallantry in action while serving as a Corpsman attached to the Fifth Regiment (Marines), 2d Division, American Expeditionary Forces. On 11 June 1918, at Lucy-le-Bocage, France, he showed extraordinary heroism and ability when a high explosive shell burst in the room used as a dressing station. He, after assisting to carry out the wounded under heavy shell fire, went back into the building contrary to orders and helpbed to bring out all of the bandages, etc., which were later so badly needed for the wounded.
