General Orders No. No. 39, W.D., 1920
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Lawrence Boop, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near the Bois-de-Brieulles, France, September 29, 1918. After all communication with the company on the left had been broken by an intense machine-gun and artillery fire, Private Boup volunteered and reestablished liaison with the flank company, successfully performing this mission by going a distance of over 300 yards through a terrific artillery and machine-gun fire.
