General Orders No. No. 10, W.D., 1920
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to John F. Clark, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Moulins, France, July 15, 1918. Private Clark carried numerous messages from company headquarters to the front-line platoons, when it was almost impossible to maintain liaison, particularly exposing himself to intense enemy fire. Through his efforts communication was maintained at a critical time in the defensive operations against the last enemy offensive.
