Medal of Honor citation of Lieutenant Guy Wilkinson Stuart Castle, USN (as printed in the official publication "Medal of Honor, 1861-1949, The Navy", page 97):


"For distinguished conduct in battle, engagements of Vera Cruz, 21 and 22 April 1914. Eminent and conspicuous in command of his battalion, Lieutenant Castle was in the fighting of both days, and exhibited courage and skill in leading his men through action. In seizing the customhouse, he encountered for many hours the heaviest and most pernicious concealed fire of the entire day, but his courage and coolness under trying conditions were marked."
