The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Fred Galoff, Sergeant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action in the vicinity of Breheville and Ecurey, northwest of Verdun, France, November 5 – 11, 1918. Sergeant Galoff displayed remarkable leadership and courage in keeping the men together and calm under the terrific enemy artillery and machine-gun fire during the attack on November 10, 1918. Although gassed and exhausted, he refused to go to the rear for medical treatment and remained with the company, assisting in giving first aid to the wounded and arranging for their evacuation, disregarding personal danger and displaying a fine spirit of sacrifice.
