 SECOND MEDAL. 
 
 " On November 17, 1915, it was planned to attack Fort Riviere, 
 Haiti, with a force made up of detachments from the Fifth, Thir- 
 teenth, Twenty-third Companies, and the marine detachment and 
 sailors from the Connecticut. Fort Riviere was an old French 
 bastion fort, about 200 feet on the side, with thick walls of brick 
 and stone, the walls being loopholed. The original entrance had 
 been on the northern side but had been blocked, a small breach in 
 the southern wall being used in its stead. As this breach in the wall 
 was the only entrance to the fort, it was naturally covered by the 
 defenders on the inside,- making passage through it into the fort a 
 most hazardous undertaking for the leading men. Notwithstanding 
 the fact that the fire of the Cacos was constantly passing through 
 this hole in the wall, Sergeant Ross L. lams, Fifth Company, un- 
 hesitatingly jumped through, closely followed by Private Samuel 
 Gross of the Twenty-third Company. A melee then ensued inside of 
 the fort for about 10 minutes, the Cacos fighting desperately with 
 rifles, clubs, stones, etc., during which several jumped from the walls 
 in an effort to escape, but were shot by the automatic guns of the 
 Fifth Company and by the Thirteenth Company advancing to the 
 attack." 
 
 It is urged that Major Smedley D. Butler be given a medal of 
 honor for his conspicuous bravery during the assault on Fort Riviere. 
 Two men entered ahead of him, doing so to prevent him from being 
 the first. Theirs was devotion to him, while his action was devotion 
 to duty. The assault inside the fort was made by 23 men with the 
 knowledge that no quarter would be given them.

 SECOND MEDAL. 
 
 Gunnery Sergeant, United States Marine Corps. " On October 
 22, 1915, Captain Upshur, First Lieutenant Ostermann, First Lieu- 
 tenant Miller, Assistant Surgeon Borden, and 35 enlisted men of 
 the Fifteenth Company of Marines, all mounted, left Fort Liberte, 
 Haiti, for a six-day reconnaissance. After dark on the evening of 
 October 24, while crossing river in deep ravine, the detachment was 
 suddenly fired upon from three sides by about 400 Cacos concealed 
 in bushes about 100 yards from fort. The Marine detachment fought 
 its way forward to a good position, which it maintained during the 
 night, although subjected to a continuous fire from the Cacos. At day- 
 break the Marines, in three squads, commanded by Captain Upshur,. 
 Lieutenant Ostermann, and Gunnery Sergeant Daly, advanced in 
 three different directions, surprising and scattering the Cacos in alJ 
 directions. The expeditionary commander commented on the gal- 
 lantry displayed by the officers and men of this detachment in the 
 following language: 
 
 " ; The action of 35 men in the attack made upon them during the 
 night of October 24 can not be commended too highly. It is true 
 that these men were in pitch darkness, surrounded by ten times their 
 number and fighting for their lives, but the manner in which they 
 fought during that long night, the steady, cool discipline that pre- 
 vented demoralization, is remarkable. Had one squad failed, not 
 one man of the party would have lived to tell the story. The actual 
 assault upon the enemy, made in three different directions and be- 
 ginning as soon as the light permitted them to see, was splendid. 
 It meant success or utter annihilation. It succeeded, thanks to the 
 splendid examples given by the officers and noncommissioned officers, 
 
ROLL OF HONOR. 31 
 
 supported by the men. Upshur and Ostermann advancing from 
 two directions captured Fort Dipite with a total of 13 Marines, 
 putting garrison to flight. Demolished and burned fort. All, three 
 squads burned all houses from which fire had been coming. I be- 
 lieve, therefore, that Captain William P. Upshur, First Lieutenant 
 Edward A. Ostermann, and Gunnery Sergeant Daniel Daly should 
 be given medals of honor for this particular engagement and the 
 work of the following day.' 
 
 "On November IT, 1915, it was planned to attack Fort Kiviere, 
 Haiti, with a force made up of detachments from the Fifth, Thir- 
 teenth, Twenty-third Companies, and the marine detachment and 
 sailors from the Connecticut. Fort Eiviere was an old French 
 bastion fort, about 200 feet on the side, with thick walls of brick 
 and stone, the walls being loopholed. The original entrance had been 
 on the northern side, but had been blocked, a small breach in the 
 southern wall being used in its stead. As this breach in the wall 
 was the only entrance to the fort, it was naturally covered by the 
 defenders on the inside, making passage through it into the fort a 
 most hazardous undertaking for the leading men. Notwithstanding 
 the fact that the fire of the Cacos was constantly passing through 
 this hole in the wall, Sergeant Ross L. lams, Fifth Company, un- 
 hesitatingly jumped through, closely followed by Private Samuel 
 Gross, of the Twenty-third Company. A melee then ensued inside of 
 the fort for about 10 minutes, the Cacos fighting desperately with 
 rifles, clubs, stones, etc., during which several jumped from the walls 
 in an effort to escape, but were shot by the automatic guns of the 
 Fifth Company and by the Thirteenth Company advancing to the 
 attack." 
 
 Gunnery Sergeant Daniel Daly, Fifteenth Company, during the 
 operations was the most conspicuous figure among the enlisted 
 personnel.

48 BOLL OF HONOR. ' 
 
 and the marine detachment and sailors from the Connecticut. Fort 
 Riviere was an old French bastion fort, about 200 feet on the side 
 with thick walls of brick and stone, the walls being loopholed. 
 The original entrance had been on the northern side, but had been 
 blocked, a small breach in the southern wall being used in its stead. 
 As this breach in the wall was the only entrance to the fort it was 
 naturally covered by the defenders on the inside, making passage 
 through it into the fort a most hazardous undertaking for the lead- 
 ing men. Notwithstanding the fact that the fire of the Cacos was 
 constantly passing through this hole in the wall, Sergeant Ross L. 
 lams, Fifth Company, unhesitatingly jumped through, closely fol- 
 lowed by Private Samuel Gross, of the Twenty-third Company. A 
 melee then ensued inside of the fort for about 10 minutes, the Cacos 
 fighting desperately with rifles, clubs, stones, etc., during which 
 several jumped from the walls in an effort to escape, but were shot 
 by the automatic guns of the Fifth Company and by the Thirteenth 
 Company advancing to the attack."

 and the marine detachment and sailors from the Connecticut. Fort 
 Riviere was an old French bastion fort, about 200 feet on the side 
 with thick walls of brick and stone, the walls being loopholed. 
 The original entrance had been on the northern side, but had been 
 blocked, a small breach in the southern wall being used in its stead. 
 As this breach in the wall was the only entrance to the fort it was 
 naturally covered by the defenders on the inside, making passage 
 through it into the fort a most hazardous undertaking for the lead- 
 ing men. Notwithstanding the fact that the fire of the Cacos was 
 constantly passing through this hole in the wall, Sergeant Ross'L. 
 lams, Fifth Company, unhesitatingly jumped through, closely fol- 
 lowed by Private Samuel Gross of the Twenty-third Company. A 
 melee then ensued inside of the fort for about 10 minutes, the Cacos 
 fighting desperately with rifles, clubs, stones, etc., during which 
 several jumped from the walls in an effort to escape, but were shot

ROLL OF HONOR. 89 
 
 it maintained during the night, although subjected to a continuous 
 fire from the Cacos. At daybreak the Marines, in three squads, 
 commanded by Captain Upshur, Lieutenant Ostermann, and Gun- 
 nery Sergeant Daly, advanced in three different directions, surpris- 
 ing and scattering the Cacos in all directions. The expeditionary 
 commander commented on the gallantry displayed by the officers 
 and men of this detachment in the following language : 
 
 " ' The action of the 35 men in the attack made upon them during 
 the night of October 24 can not be commended too highly. It is 
 true that these men were in pitch darkness, surrounded by ten times 
 their number, and fighting for their lives, but the manner in which 
 they fought during that long night, the steady, cool discipline that 
 prevented demoralization is remarkable. Had one squad failed, not 
 one man of the party would have lived to tell the story. The actual 
 assault upon the enemy, made in three different directions and 
 beginning as soon as the light permitted them to see, was splendid. 
 It meant success or utter annihilation. It succeeded, thanks to the 
 splendid examples given by the officers and noncommissioned officers, 
 supported by the men. Upshur and Ostermann advancing from 
 two directions captured Fort Dipitie with a total of 13 Marines, 
 putting garrison to .flight. Demolished and burned fort. All three 
 squads burned all houses from which fire had been coming. I be- 
 lieve, therefore, that Captain William P. Upshur, First Lieutenant 
 Edward A. Ostermann, and Gunnery Sergeant Daniel Daly should 
 be given medals of honor for this particular engagement and the 
 work of the following day.' "

 they fought during that long night, the steady, cool discipline that 
 prevented demoralization is remarkable. Had one squad failed, not 
 one man of the party would have lived to tell the story. The actual 
 assault upon the enemy, made in three different directions and 
 beginning as soon as the light permitted them to see, was splendid. 
 It meant success or utter annihilation. It succeeded, thanks to the 
 splendid examples given by the officers and noncommissioned officers, 
 supported by the men. Upshur and Ostermann advancing from 
 two directions captured Fort Dipitie with a total of 13 Marines, 
 putting garrison to flight. Demolished and burned fort. All three 
 squads burned all houses from which fire had been coming. I be- 
 lieve, therefore, that Captain William P. Upshur, First Lieutenant 
 Edward A. Ostermann, and Gunnery Sergeant Daniel Daly should 
 be given medals of honor for this particular engagement and the 
 work of the following day.' "
