Ward, United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations against an armed enemy while Commanding a Battalion of Field Artillery, in action against enemy forces in February 1943, in Tunisia. Lieutenant Colonel Ward displayed outstanding generalship during the action of his battalion against a superior enemy force. With utter disregard for his own safety, he exposed himself continuously to the dangers of the enemy fire and led, directed, and maneuvered his men to a position of safety. His constant encouraging presence, and the uppermost thought and consideration he showed for their welfare, never failed to rally their welfare, never failed to rally their spirits, made possible a highly strategic withdrawal, and was responsible for the saving of many lives and of much valuable equipment. Lieutenant Colonel Ward's devotion to duty and unceasing efforts in the face of great obstacles exemplify the highest traditions of the military forces of the United States and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army.
