The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Navy Cross to Lieutenant, Junior Grade Cameron McRae Winslow, United States Navy, for distinguished service in the line of his profession while in Command of the Armed Guard on board the S.S. CHI PING from 12 March to 14 March 1930, on the Yangtze River, near Ichang, China. While making passage on the river, the vessel was under heavy fire on several occasions from groups of unattached Chinese soldiers, sometimes in considerable numbers, using rifles, machine guns and, on one occasion, a field piece and at very short ranges. Lieutenant, Junior Grade, Winslow caused the fire to be returned promptly and with telling effect so that in each instance the attack was repulsed and the vessel permitted to continue its voyage. During an attack on the vessel on 14 March, Lieutenant, Junior Grade, Winslow was struck in the thigh by a rifle bullet. He did not give up the active command of his detachment but continued operating a machine gun until all danger had passed. The vessel was struck in the hull about two hundred and fifty times by rifle and machine gun bullets. Lieutenant, Junior Grade, Winslow’s leadership and courage during the voyage were in keeping with the highest traditions of the service and resulted in the saving of valuable property and the lives of those on board the vessel.
