The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Private First Class Harold E. Chenevert (ASN: 11008240), United States Army, for gallantry in action while serving with Company B, 1st Medical Battalion, 1st Infantry Division, in action against the enemy in North Africa, during the period from January to May 1943. Although subjected to constant enemy machine gun and artillery fire, Private Chenevert, an ambulance driver, continued evacuating the wounded to a place of safety. His bravery under fire inspired the men with whom he served. Private First Class Chenevert’s gallant actions and dedicated devotion to duty, without regard for his own life, were in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Army.
