Marcellus Holmes Chiles (February 5, 1895–November 5, 1918) was an American soldier serving in the United States Army who received the Medal of Honor for his actions during World War I. ==Biography==
Chiles was born in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, to John Horne Chiles. He later moved to Denver, Colorado, where his father worked as a lawyer. He was a student at Colorado College when World War I began. After attending an officers' training camp, he was appointed a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army in August 1917.〔 Promoted to first lieutenant in January 1918, Chiles was sent to Europe with the 356th Infantry Regiment, 89th Division later that year. He first saw action at the Saint-Mihiel salient in northeast France in August 1918. On November 3, four days after being promoted to captain, Chiles participated in an advance near Le Champy Bas as part of the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. In command of a battalion, he oversaw an attack against a large German force, leading his men through a waist-deep stream despite intense machine gun fire. Wounded during the water crossing, Chiles continued to crawl after his troops after reaching the stream bank.〔〔 After turning over command of the battalion, he was evacuated to a hospital, where he died on November 5.〔 For these actions, he received the Distinguished Service Cross; the award was upgraded to the Medal of Honor the next year.〔〔 Chiles, aged 23 at his death, is buried at the Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery near Romagne-sous-Montfaucon, France.〔
