Craig has also been awarded the Distinguished Service Medal, following a citation which read: "While commanding (lie Ninth Infantry Division in Bel gium and Germany from Septem ber 5 to December 15, 1944, he di rected his troops in conspiciously successfully operations. Upon reaching the Meuse river, he skill fully planned the capitulation of enemy-held Dinant. after two days of heavy fighting. Pressing the advantage, he pursued the defeat ed Germans. His division breach ed the intricate fortifications of the Siegfried Line in three days’ combat and with extraordinary light losses, in contrast to heavy casualties for the enemy. "While one of his units held these important gains, he direct ed his remaining elements in de stroying fixed fortifications in the Hurigan Forest. Subsequently, his division swept the Germans from the Luchcm-Langerwche sector and drove them across the lloel river. His analysis of enemy pur poses and capabilities, his deci sive exploitation * of temporary weakness and his skillful use of his forces against formidable ob stacles provided the inspired bold leadership which was so greatly responsible for carrying his divi sion through a series of successes of vast consequence to the Allied cause.” Among the decorations received by Gen.
