Gunner's mate, first class, United States Navy. "For extraordinary heroism in the presence of the enemy on the occasion of the torpedoing of the _Cassin_, on October 15, 1917. While the _Cassin_ was searching for the submarine, Ingram sighted the torpedo coming, and realizing that it might strike the ship aft in the vicinity of the depth charges, he ran aft with the intention of releasing the depth charges before the torpedo could reach the _Cassin_. The torpedo struck the ship before he could accomplish his purpose and Ingram was killed by the explosion. The depth charges exploded immediately afterward. His life was sacrificed in an attempt to save the ship and his shipmates, as the damage to the ship would have been much less if he had been able to release the depth charges." (Act of February 4, 1919.)
