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 Harry W. Kingsbury (ASN: 31328850), United States Army, for gallantry in action while serving with the 35th Infantry Division, in action in the vicinity of ****, France, on 6 August 1944. Private Kingsbury was acting as road guide for Anti-Tank Company, *** Infantry Regiment, when entrenched troops of several infantry regiments were attacked by a large force of enemy aircraft. While other road guides and guards sought shelter from the attack, Private Kingsbury, in order to relieve the concentration of traffic blocking the road junction, obtained information from an officer as t the bivouac areas of the respective elements, and, disregarding personal safety and exposure to the attack, remained at his post, directing elements of the march into correct lanes to their proper bivouac areas. The gallant action, resourcefulness and courage of Private Kingsbury reflects high credit upon the military service.
