By direction of the President, under the provisions of the act of Congress approved July 9, 1918 (Bul. No. 43, W.D., 1918), Private First Class Frank Price (ASN: 544590), United States Army, is cited by the Commanding General, 3d Division, American Expeditionary Forces, and a silver star may be placed upon the ribbon of the World War I Victory Medals awarded him. While serving with Company B, 1st Battalion, 30th Infantry Regiment, 3d Division, American Expeditionary Forces, Private First Class Price displayed extraordinary bravery and devotion to duty at Hill 204, northwest of Chateau-Thierry, 5 June 1918. Although subjected to heavy machine gun and enemy artillery fire, this soldier volunteered to help locate enemy positions when the rest of the platoon was lost and unable to proceed, not knowing the direction of the enemy. While on this mission he was taken prisoner but refused to divulge any information regarding American troops in that vicinity. He later escaped with valuable information to the French lines, enabling the French troops to attack the following morning with a good measure of success.
