General Orders No. 108, W.D., 1919
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Guy W. Boardman, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Courchamps, France, July 19, 1918. Though he had been wounded in the ankle, Private Boardman crawled out from a shell hole under heavy machine-gun fire, and made several trips to a small stream 100 yards away for the purpose of filling the canteens of his wounded comrades, until he was ordered to the rear for medical aid. He was later killed in action while charging an enemy machine-gun nest.
