By direction of the President, under the provisions of the act of Congress approved July 9, 1918 (Bul. No. 43, W.D., 1918), Corporal Thomas G. Ferguson (ASN: 107164), 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, on the morning of 15 July 1918, near Greves Farm, France, Corporal Ferguson showed the greatest courage and coolness in endeavoring to re-establish telephone communication to the battalion. He traced the lines in the darkness and continued to repair them time after time, only to have them cut out in a few minutes. A few days later he set a fine example of coolness and bravery under fire to the men of the battery by walking out from protection of a trench he was working in, in the midst of a terrific fire.
