AWARDS AND CITATIONS
Distinguished Service Cross
Awarded for actions during the World War II
The President of the USA of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross to Captain (Armor) Henry H. Chatfield (ASN: 0-456081), USA Army, for extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations against an armed enemy while serving with the 66th Armored Regiment, 2d Armored Division, in action against enemy forces on 22 and 23 November 1944, in Germany. With only 7 tanks remaining after 6 days of heavy fighting and supported by one rifle company, Captain Chatfield launched a coordinated infantry-tank attack against a strongly entrenched and reinforced German battalion. Constantly exposing himself to artillery, mortar, and rifle fire, he executed a daring double envelopment with his meager force which resulted in the capture of 95 Germans and the killing or wounding of many others. On numerous occasions, he deliberately exposed himself to heavy fire, forcing the enemy to disclose their positions, thus enabling his tanks and infantry troops to destroy innumerable hostile strongpoints. Captain Chatfield's intrepid leadership, personal bravery and zealous devotion to duty exemplify the highest traditions of the military forces of the USA and reflect great credit upon himself, the 2d Armored Division, and the USA Army.
