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 Lieutenant Colonel of Artillery Antoine C. P. Brunot de Rouvre, French Army, for exceptionally meritorious and distinguished service in a position of great responsibility to the Government of the United States, during World War I. As Regulating Commissioner at St. Dizier, France, Colonel Brunot de Rouvre labored unceasingly in the interests of the American Expeditionary Forces during the St. Mihiel and Argonne offensives. Notwithstanding that the responsibility of supplying two French Armies rested upon him, the facilities at his command were put unreservedly at our service. Without his loyal cooperation the supply of our combat troops would have been most complicated.
