Congressional Medal Of Honor Citation
    Frank J. Bart, private, Company C, 9th Infantry, 2d Division. For
conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty in
action with the enemy near Medeah Farm, France, October 3, 1918. Pvt. Bart,
being on duty as a company runner, when the advance was held up by machine-gun
fire, voluntarily picked up an automatic rifle, ran out ahead of the line, and
silenced a hostile machine-gun nest, killing the German gunners. The advance
then continued and, when it was again hindered shortly afterwards by another
machine-gun nest, this courageous soldier repeated his bold exploit by putting
the second machine gun out of action. Residence at enlistment: 262 Washington
Street, Newark, N. J.
