General Orders 64, W.D., 1919
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to George S. Crabbe, Captain, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Cierges, France, July 31, 1918. While advancing with his company, Captain Crabbe wrenched his leg severely in the crossing of the Ourcq River, but continued in the advance. Later he was severely wounded by machine-gun bullets in the left thigh, but again refused evacuation, and continued in command of his company until the objective had been reached and the position consolidated, remaining nine hours with his company after having been wounded.
