Timothy D. Bonney

By direction of the President, under the provisions of the act of Congress approved July 9, 1918 (Bul. No. 43, W.D., 1918), First Lieutenant (Infantry) Timothy D. Bonney, 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. First Lieutenant Bonney distinguished himself by gallantry in action while serving with the 103d Infantry Regiment, 26th Division, American Expeditionary Forces, in action near Bouresches, France, 19 July 1918, in carrying two wounded men to the dressing station under enemy fire.

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Timothy D. Bonney, First Lieutenant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Belleau, France, July 20, 1918. With complete disregard for his own safety, First Lieutenant Bonney rescued two wounded soldiers under an extremely heavy barrage of machine-gun fire by which they were surrounded. Unassisted, he carried both men through a hail of fire to the nearest dressing station, his great courage and devotion to duty undoubtedly saving their lives.
