John McNulty (U.S. Marine Corps gunnery) : ウィキペディア英語版 | John McNulty (U.S. Marine Corps gunnery)
Maj. John McNulty of Revere, Massachusetts (fl. c. 1918), American Expeditionary Forces, was a U.S. Marine Corps’ WWI war hero. For his service in that conflict, then, 1st Sgt. McNulty was awarded the Navy Cross〔''U.S. Marine Corps Recipients of the Navy Cross 1916-WWI, Citations and Photos of Marine Corps Recipients of the Navy Cross in World War I'', C. Douglas Sterner, compiler and editor, p. 61, in print, made available on line as PDF file 02_NCwwi by HomeofHeroes.com, P.O. Box 122, Pueblo, CO 81005〕 (for “Extraordinary heroism in combat not justifying the Medal of Honor”), the Distinguished Service Cross (United States)〔U.S. War Dept. General Order 20 (1919)〕 (for “Distinguishes himself by extraordinary heroism not justifying the Medal of Honor”) and, twice, the Silver Star〔General Orders, Citation Orders, 2d Division, American Expeditionary Forces, both 1918, but for separate actions with one for action at Chateau-Thierry, France June 6 to 10, 1918 and the other for action at Mont Blanc, France October 1 to 10, 1918〕 (for “gallantry in action against an enemy of the United States”). ==Navy Cross==
McNulty’s most significant act of valor occurred in action between Blanc Mont and St. Etienne, France, on October 4, 1918, while he was a gunnery sergeant. With the crew of his machine gun all killed or wounded about him and while himself under heavy artillery and machine gun fire and severely, near mortally, wounded, Gunnery McNulty voluntarily stood his Vickers gun against Central Powers forces until they were repulsed. Not relinquishing his post even after the enemy retired, McNulty had to be then actually ordered off the field and to the rear by his commanding officer.〔again, ''U.S. Marine Corps Recipients of the Navy Cross 1916-WWI, Citations and Photos of Marine Corps Recipients of the Navy Cross in World War I'', C.
