Paul Daly

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Paul Daly, First Lieutenant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Soissons, France, July 19 – 22, 1918. Although wounded, Lieutenant Daly took command of the first battalion of his regiment after the previous battalion commanders had been wounded, displaying the highest courage in advancing and holding the objective of his battalion. Three days later he was again wounded, but remained with his command until he was ordered to the rear by his regimental commander.
