By direction of the President, under the provisions of the act of Congress approved July 9, 1918 (Bul. No. 43, W.D., 1918), Lieutenant (MC) Dwight Dickinson, Jr., 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. Lieutenant Dickinson distinguished himself by gallantry in action while serving as a Medical Officer attached to the Fifth Regiment (Marines), 2d Division, American Expeditionary Forces, in action during World War I. During the advance at Blanc Mont Ridge, under terrific shell fire and a very intense machine-gun fire, Lieutenant Dickinson worked with utter disregard of personal safety and danger. His unceasing efforts were undoubtedly the cause of saving many lives, although in constant danger of losing his own which did not seem to concern him in the least. His greatest desire was to see to the treatment of the wounded.
