By direction of the President, under the provisions of the act of Congress approved July 9, 1918 (Bul. No. 43, W.D., 1918), Sergeant First Class Mendel Glickman (ASN: 158566), 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 the 6th Engineer Regiment, 3d Division, American Expeditionary Forces, on the night of 28 March 1918, after his platoon had fallen back to a new position, following a flank attack by the enemy, Sergeant Glickman went forward alone to the former position, presumed to be held by the enemy. Discovering that the position was unoccupied, he returned with this information to his platoon commander, helped to reform the men and guided them back at Warfusee-Abancourt, France (Somme Defensive). On 10 October 1918, near Romagne, France, within 200 yards of the front line and under direct observation and direct fire from enemy guns which delivered a concentrated and active barrage for a duration of about two hours on his working party, Sergeant Glickman displayed great coolness and disregard for his personal safety while replacing a demolished bridge. The success of the work was due in large measure to his conduct and assistance.
