The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Army Distinguished Service Medal to Colonel (Infantry) Frank J. Morrow, United States Army, for exceptionally meritorious and distinguished services to the Government of the United States, in a duty of great responsibility during World War I. From September 1917 to March 1918, in the organization and operation of the 1st Division and 1st Corps schools, Colonel Morrow rendered valuable and unusual services under very great difficulties. From April to December 1918, as a member of the Training and Instruction Branch of the War Plans Division, General Staff, and in direct supervision of the Field Officers’ Schools in the combat divisions, and the War College course for instruction of divisional staff officers, his zeal, marked ability, and high military attainments were important factors in successfully standardizing the training and instruction of a great many senior officers. Later, while in direct charge of the organization of the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps, he again rendered invaluable services in building up this important branch of civilian military training along sound and enduring lines.
