Summary

Description

"Harold A. Furlong., 1st Lieut. Co. M 353rd Inf.

FOR conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty in action with the enemy near Bantheville, France, 1 November, 1918.

Immediately after the opening of the attack in the Bois de Bantheville, when his company was held up by severe machinegun fire from the front, which killed his company commander and several soldiers, Lieutenant Furlong moved out in advance of the line with great courage and coolness, crossing an open space several hundred yards wide. Taking up a position behind the line of machine guns, he closed in on them, one at a time, killing a number of the enemy with his rifle, putting four machine-gun nests out of action, and driving twenty German prisoners into our lines.

Home Address: Arthur D. Furlong, Father, 2950 West Grand Boulevard, Detroit, Michigan"
