By direction of the President, under the provisions of the act of Congress approved July 9, 1918 (Bul. No. 43, W.D., 1918), Captain (Chaplain’s Corps) Duncan Hodge Browne, United States Army, is cited by the Commanding General, American Expeditionary Forces, for gallantry in action and a silver star may be placed upon the ribbon of the Victory Medals awarded him. Chaplain Browne distinguished himself by gallantry in action while serving with the 305th Infantry Regiment, 77th Division, American Expeditionary Forces, in action in the Argonne Forest, France, 26 September 1918. During the night of September 26 and 27, this officer, with utter disregard for personal danger and under intense shell fire of the enemy, remained with wounded men, otherwise unattended, rendering them efficient aid and comfort. During the entire drive through the Argonne forest this officer repeatedly showed his devotion to the men of the command by repeated attendance on wounded under heavy enemy shell fire, and at all times exhibited the highest sense of duty, a disregard of personal safety, and spirit of self-sacrifice.
