General Orders 70, W.D., 1919
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Clarence C. Dry, Sergeant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action at Exermont, France, September 28, 1918. Volunteering to ascertain the location of an enemy machine-gun nest, Sergeant Dry walked into the open to draw its fire; and, when, he was about 50 yards from the hostile position, he was kilted. His self-sacrificing act enabled his platoon to destroy the enemy nest.
