By direction of the President, under the provisions of the act of Congress approved July 9, 1918 (Bul. No. 43, W.D., 1918), First Sergeant John Cahey (ASN: 1550200), 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 A, 76th Field Artillery Regiment, 3d Division, American Expeditionary Forces, First Sergeant Cahey was always active and an inspiration to the battery by his fearless adherence to duty. At Montfaucon, Hill 253, and Louppy, in the absence of Red Cross assistance, he himself rendered first aid, dressing the wounded at Montfaucon. He volunteered to take two pieces forward to the Mamelle Trench then occupied by our front line Infantry, knowing well that the trench was being subjected to the heaviest of shell fire. Above Gland (Battle of the Marne) under heavy shelling he personally took horses off the picket line on which several horses had been wounded and led them to a place of safety.
