By direction krf the- President, the following regulations are promulgated respecting the award of Medals of Honor, and paragraph 177 of the Regulations is amended to read as follows: 177. Medals of Honor authorized by the Act of Congress approved March 3, 1863, are awarded to officers and enlisted men, in the name of the Congress, for particular deeds of most distinguished gallantry in action. 1. In order that the Congressional Medal of Honor may be deserved, service must have been performed in action of such a conspicuous character as to clearly distinguish the man for gallantry and intrepidity above his comrades service that involved extreme jeopardy of life or the performance of extraordinarily hazardous duty. Recommendations for the decoration will be judged by this standard of extraordinary merit, and incontestible proof of performance of the service will be exacted. 2. Soldiers of the Union have ever displayed bravery in battle, else victories could not have been gained; but as courage and self-sacrifice are the characteristics of every true soldier, such a badge of distinction as the Congressional Medal is not to be expected as the reward of conduct that does not clearly distinguish the soldier above other men, whose bravery and gallantry have been proved in battle. 3. Recommendations for medals on account of services rendered in the Volunteer Army during the late war and in the Regular Army previous to January i, 1890, will, if practicable, be submitted by some person other than the proposed recipient, one who is personally familiar with all the facts and circumstances claimed as justifying the award; but the application may be made by the one claiming to have earned the decoration, in which case it will be in the form of a deposition, reciting a narra tive description of the distinguished service performed. If official records are relied on as evidence proving the personal service, the reports of the action must be submitted or cited; but if these rec ords are lacking, the testimony must embrace that of one or more eyewitnesses, who, under oath, describe specifically the act or acts they saw wherein the person recommended or applying clearly distinguished himself above his fellows for most distinguished gallantry in action. 4. Recommendations for medals on account of service rendered subsequent to January i, 1890, will be made by the commanding officer at the time of the action or by an officer or soldier having personal cognizance of the act for which the badge of honor is claimed, and the recommendation will embrace a detailed recital of all the facts and circumstances. Certificates of officers or the affidavits of enlisted men who were eyewitnesses of the act will also DC submitted if practicable. 5. In cases that may arise for service performed hereafter, recommendations for award of medals must lie forwarded within one year after the performance of the act for which the award is claimed. Commanding officers will thoroughly investigate all cases of recommendations for Congressional Medals arising in their commands, and indorse their opinion upon the papers, which will be for warded to the Adjutant-General of the Army through regular channels. R. A. ALGKR, Secretary of War. MEMORANDUM. WAR DEPARTMENT. February /<?, Under the Joint Resolution of Congress approved May 2, 1896, a medal of honor ribbon of the new pattern, and a bowknot to l>e worn in lieu of the medal, will be issued to any person, applying therefor, to whom the medal has heretofore been awarded. Whenever new ribbons thus issued shall have teen lost, destroyed, or rendered unfit for use, without fault or neglect on the part of the persons to whom they were issued, other ribbons may lie issued to replace them; but the Joint Resolution of May 2, 1896, does not authorize a similar replacement of bowknots that may have been lost, destroyed, or rendered unfit for use, and in no case will more than one bowknot be issued to or for any one person. MEDALS OF HONOR. 9 Except in the case of an applicant whose identity is clearly established by correspondence or other records on file in the Department, neither the ribbon nor the bowknot will be issued to any applicant therefor until he shall have furnished evidence of his identity, such evidence to be the sworn state ment of at least two reputable persons who can testify that they have been personally acquainted with the applicant for at least five years, and that they know him to be the person that he represents himself to be. A new ribbon will not be issued to any person within one year from the date of issue to him of a ribbon of the new pattern, except upon the sworn testimony of two or more reputable persons to the effect that the ribbon previously issued was lost, destroyed, or rendered unfit for use, without fault or neglect on the part of the person to whom it was issued; and similar testimony will be required in any case, regardless of the date of issue of the original ribbon, in which there shall be any reason to doubt that such ribbon was lost, destroyed, or rendered unfit for use, without fault or neglect on the part of the person to whom it was issued. The Adjutant-General of the Army will issue the ribbons and bowknots to those to whom the medal has been awarded for distinguished conduct as members of the Regular Army, and the Chief of the Record and Pension Office will issue them to those to whom the medal has been awarded for similar conduct as members of the Volunteer Army. The supply of ribbons and bowknots will be divided between the Adjutant-General s Office and Record and Pension Office in the proportion in which medals have been issued to members or ex- members of the Regular and Volunteer Armies, respectively. An exact account of all ribbons and bowknots that may be issued will be kept, and such measures will be adopted for the preservation and custody of those on hand as will prevent the possibility of any of them coming into the possession of persons not entitled to receive them.

The term of service of the 27th Maine Infantry being about to expire, the regiment was ordered to Arlington Heights, Vir ginia, where it arrived June 25, 1863, preparatory to being sent home for muster out. While the regiment was at that place the President requested it to remain in service a short time longer, on account of Lee s invasion of Pennsylvania. Al>out 300 officers and enlisted men volunteered to remain, and did remain, at Arlington Heights, Virginia, in the defenses south of the Potomac, until the result of the battle of Gettysburg was known. They were sent home on July 4. The remainder of the regiment, consisting of about 560 officers and enlisted men, was sent home on July i. The entire regiment was mustered out of service at Portland, Me., on July 17, 1863, On January 24, iW\s, medals of honor, 864 in number, were issued to all members of the regiment who were mustered out with it. The official records show that it was intended to issue the medal to those who volunteered to remain in service beyond the expiration of their term, but, evidently through inadvertence, the medal was also issued to about 560 members of the regiment who did not volunteer to remain in service. The records do not show either the names of those who volunteered to remain or of those who did not so volunteer. UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA LIBRARY BERKELEY Return to desk from which borrowed.
