DSC Citation
The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross to First Lieutenant Thomas D. Pollard (MCSN: 0-14726/289992), United States Marine Corps Reserve, for extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations against an armed enemy while serving with Company D, FIRST Marine Raider Battalion in action against the enemy at Enogai Point, New Georgia, Solomon Islands, on 7, 8, 10, and 20 July 1943. Leading the charge of his platoon in successful attacks on enemy positions near Enogai, First Lieutenant Pollard was credited with shooting four enemy snipers who were concealed in trees. Two days later his platoon was ordered to flank hostile machine-gun positions which held up the advance of two companies. Lieutenant Pollard led his platoon through the jungle to the enemy's flank and rear, knocked their gun positions out of action, killed many of the enemy and drove others into the sea. He then continued to lead the advance to the beach near Enogai Point where two machine guns were captured. In later attacks against well entrenched forces defending Bairoko, his platoon penetrated enemy positions and advanced to within 200 yards of the harbor which was defended by a concentration of 90-mm. mortar fire. The outstanding heroism and skill displayed by First Lieutenant Pollard on this occasion reflect highest credit upon himself and the Armed Forces of the United States.

He was buried in 2010 at Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, Arlington Co., VA, Findagrave #58117704.

Sioux Valley News, May 31, 1883, page 4: Died in Correctionville May 24, 1883, David C. Polley. He was born in Stamford, Delaware Co, New York, April 18, 1830. Removed to Wisconsin with his parents in 1844, from thence to Winnesheik Co, Iowa in 1854. January 21, 1855, he married Martha J. Windell of Indiana. On the opening of the rebellion his mind and heart could not rest until he had entered the army with his brother Charles to do all in his power for the saving of his country. This was natural for a true American and one of his ancestry, his grandfather having served in the revolutionary army as lieutenant colonel from Rhode Island and his father having gone from New York to engage in the war of 1812. Mr Polley served his country 3 years. At the siege of Atlanta he received an injury which caused him much suffering on his return home. A recent fall so aggravated the wound that his death was quite sudden. He suffered severely on Tuesday and Wednesday and died about noon on Thursday. His physicians and friends were very kind in their services. The wife, though nearly prostrated by the sudden blow, was extremely faithful in her care. Mr. Polley was one of our old residents, having moved to Union Ridge in July 1869 and to the city last fall. He was a hard working man, as one may see by his farm where his son now resides, and one of thoroughly honest and upright character. Funeral services were on Friday conducted by Rev. C.N. Sinnett, assisted by the excellent rendering of hymns by the choir.
