The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to George Brenstuhl, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near St. Georges, France, October 15, 1918. Seeing the only other company runner killed while delivering a message of vital importance, Private Brenstuhl crawled from shell hole to shell hole during a rain of machine-gun bullets, took the message from the dead man, and completed the mission.
