*Smiley, Dean F. (KIA)
The President of the United States takes pride in presenting the Navy Distinguished Service Medal (Posthumously) to Dean F. Smiley (88720), Private, U.S. Marine Corps, for extraordinary heroism near St. Etienne, France, on 9 October 1918. Private Smiley rushed a hostile machine-gun nest single-handed, killing three of the crew and capturing the remainder. While taking his prisoners to the rear, this gallant soldier was killed by enemy artillery fire.
The President of the United States takes pleasure in presenting the Navy Distinguished Service Medal to Fred Thomas (0-1833), Second Lieutenant, U.S. Marine Corps, for extraordinary heroism in action near St. Etienne, France, on 2 October 1918. While endeavoring to establish a large company front which had become disconnected, Lieutenant Thomas encountered a large number of the enemy filtering through our lines. By strategic maneuvers he formed a strong resistance causing heavy casualties on the enemy and forcing their retreat after he himself had been seriously wounded.
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.
The President of the United States takes pleasure in presenting the Navy Distinguished Service Medal to Frederick M.

Lieutenant Colonel Wise commanded with skill, ability and gallantry, the 59th Infantry, from 4 September 1918 to 23 January 1919. During the St. Mihiel offensive, he personally directed the attack of his regiment against Manheulles and Fresnes-en-Woevre, which resulted in the capture of the enemy's line in this area. On 28 September 1918 he directed the attack of his regiment which resulted in the capture of the Bois-de-Brieulles. From 26 September to 21 October 1918, his personal courage and aggressive attitude was an important factor in the successful operations of the 8th Infantry Brigade against the Bois-de-Brieulles, Bois-de-Fays, Bois-de-Malaumont, Bois-de-Peut, and Bois-de-Foret. He has rendered services of signal worth to the American Expeditionary Forces.

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.
