The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Barney Bardman, Private First Class, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Grand Pre, France, October 15, 1918. Private Bardeman, acting as scout for his platoon, was attempting to effect a crossing over the river under heavy machine-gun and sniping fire. When he was struck by a bullet and mortally wounded he called out a warning to the other five members of the platoon to take cover, thereby saving many lives.
