Thanks to the book Belgian Decorations to Americans for World War I Service, Volume I by Scott R. Schoner, we were able to find Blake’s full citations for his SSCs and all three Croix de Guerres: Blake, Albro (Albus) E., 129789, Private, Headquarters Company, 15th Field Artillery Regiment Belgian Croix de Guerre (Roy
