George Gallagher

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to George Gallagher, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Crezancy, France, July 15; and near Jaulgonne, France, July 23, 1918. On the night of July 15, during the intense shelling which preceded the German offensive, Corporal Gallagher made three trips through the fire and, collecting lost troops, conducted them to their place in the line. On July 23 he led a patrol through perilous fire, and established communication with troops on the right of his position.
