citation:
"For gallantry in action in the *** and *** Sectors, Normandy, France, 2 August 1944. When Major Carroll proceeded forward to coordinate the action of the leading elements of the battalion, he discovered one of the rifle companies in a hazardous condition, due to exceptionally heavy enemy action which precipitated a disorganization of the unit and rendered casualties the company commander and executive officer. Major Carroll assumed command, restored order, regained control, and led the company in a successful attack immediately thereafter. The actions of major Carroll in this critical situation in turning disorder into achievement, reflect credit upon his qualities of leadership and are in accord with high military traditions."

For action performed on 2 August 1944 near Pont-Bellenger/Manche département, Basse-Normandy, France.
