Citation:

The President of the United States takes pleasure in presenting the Navy Distinguished Service Medal to Amil Wiman, Gunnery Sergeant, U.S. Marine Corps, for exceptionally meritorious and distinguished service while serving with Squadron C, FIRST Marine Aviation Force. Gunnery Sergeant Wiman not only participated successfully in numerous bombing raids into enemy territory, but on 2 October 1918, when word was received that a body of French troops had been cut off from supplies for two days by the enemy, and it was decided to feed them by aeroplane, canned food and bread were loaded in planes and Gunnery Sergeant Wiman flew over the besieged troops at an altitude of only one hundred feet and dropped the food where these troops could get it. This performance was repeated four times, each time under heavy fire from rifles, machine guns and artillery on the ground. Also, on 14 October 1918, while leading a raid of seven planes near Pittham, Belgium, his plane and one other became separated from their formation on account of motor trouble and were attacked by twelve enemy scouts. Gunnery Sergeant Wiman shot down one enemy plane before his motor quit entirely, and landed under fire in the Belgium front line trenches.

*Boyce, William L. (KIA)

Citation:

The President of the United States takes pride in presenting the Navy Distinguished Service Medal (Posthumously) to William L. Boyce, Assistant Machinist, U.S. Coast Guard, for distinguished and heroic service in the line of his profession as an officer of the U.S.S. Seneca in volunteering as one of a party to board the British Steamer Wellington, following the torpedoing of that vessel on 16 September 1918, and her abandonment by her crew. Assistant Machinist Boyce was placed in charge of the machinery of the Wellington and through his efforts in handling the Power plant, the vessel, although fatally damaged, was able to continue on her course for port for twelve hours; then, owing to heavy weather and rapid rising of the water in the holds, a bulkhead gave way, flooding the engine and fire rooms. Even then, Machinist Boyce and his men stuck to their posts until steam was blown down sufficiently to prevent danger of explosion to the boilers. In the attempt to abandon ship when his services were no longer of any use Machinist Boyce lost his life.

Momsen, Charles B.

Citation:

The President of the United States takes pleasure in presenting the Navy Distinguished Service Medal to Charles B. Momsen, Lieutenant, U.S. Navy, for exceptionally meritorious and distinguished service to the government in the successful development of the escape device known as the "Lung". During the early stages of its design and development Lieutenant Momsen, one of the inventors, courageously, repeatedly and voluntarily risked his life in conducting experiments of a nature such that there was little or no information available as to their probable results. In the later tests of the device when escapes were made from the U.S.S. S-4 submerged to depth as much as 206 feet, Lieutenant Momsen was not only the first person to venture the escape but was also the leading and guiding spirit in all subsequent ones. It is through the initiative, courage and perseverance of Lieutenant Momsen that the development of the "Lung", which has been pronounced as the greatest single contribution to Submarine escape, has reached a successful conclusion and the device has been adopted as part of the regular equipment of all our submarines.

Tibbals, Clarence L.

Citation:

The President of the United States takes pleasure in presenting the Navy Distinguished Service Medal to Clarence L. Tibbals, Chief Gunner, U.S. Navy, for exceptionally meritorious and distinguished service to the government in the successful development of the escape device known as the "Lung". During the early stages of its design and development Chief Gunner Tibbals, one of the inventors, furnished much of the information needed in the design of the "Lung" from the knowledge gained during his long years of experience as an expert deep sea diver and, later, during the first tests of the apparatus he repeatedly, courageously and voluntarily performed feats at great personal risk in order to prove the correctness of the theory and construction of the apparatus. When the practicability of the apparatus was being tested he made many escapes, and assisted others in making escapes, from the U.S.S. S-4 submerged to depths as much as 206 feet. It is in a large measure, due to the knowledge, courage and high sense of duty of Chief Gunner Tibbals that the development of the "Lung", which has been pronounced the greatest single contribution to Submarine escape, has reached a successful conclusion and the device has been adopted as part of the regular equipment of all of our submarines.
