General Orders No. 46, W.D., 1919
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Francis L. Daniels, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Tailly, France, November 2, 1918. When his company had been held up by a machine- gun, and a comrade killed at his side, Corporal Daniels voluntarily advanced alone over an open space for 200 yards in the face of the machine-gun fire into a clump of bushes, from which he succeeded in killing the enemy gunner and capturing the gun.
