    Headquarters, 3d Division, A.E.F., Citation Orders No. 22 (July 8, 1919)

    By direction of the President, under the provisions of the act of Congress approved July 9, 1918 (Bul. No. 43, W.D., 1918), Sergeant Clarence W. Over (ASN: 107155), 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 Battery F, 10th Field Artillery Regiment, 3d Division, American Expeditionary Forces, during the day of 5 October 1918, at Montfaucon, France, Sergeant Over showed the greatest bravery and coolness in directing the work of his section. During a very heavy shelling he was badly wounded but insisted in staying at his post. This was manifestly impossible, but by his courage he set a fine example to his section and the other men of the Battery.
