The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Fred Clay, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Sergy, France, July 31, 1918. After all runners had become casualties in attempting to carry out their missions, Corporal Clay voluntarily assumed the duties of company runner. His efforts were materially responsible for success gained during the day, during the course of which he repeatedly exposed himself to direct enemy artillery and machine-gun fire.
