By direction of the President, under the provisions of the act of Congress approved July 9, 1918 (Bul. No. 43, W.D., 1918), Captain (Medical Corps Peter L. Harvie, 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 Commanding Ambulance Company No. 5, 3d Sanitary Train, 3d Division, American Expeditionary Forces, Captain Harvie distinguished himself during the Second Battle of the Marne, from 14 July to 10 August 1918, while in and around Courboin, Crezancy, St. Eugene, Le Rocq Farm, Nesles, Fossoy, Jaulgonne and Le Charmel, so conducting himself under the severest enemy shell fire, in his ardent determination to get every wounded man safely to the rear, as to set a most inspiring example to all men of his command. On the Argonne-Meuse Sector, from 1 – 30 October 1918, the heroic conduct of this commanding officer stood out conspicuously above those about him when through his concern for the evacuation of wounded men, he repeatedly exposed himself to shell fire, manifesting a zeal and courage which the most hazardous situations failed in any way to diminish.
