General Orders 89, W.D., 1919
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Harold A. Healy, Second Lieutenant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Le Channel, France, July 15, 1918. After several runners had been unsuccessful in attempts to carry an important message, Lieutenant Healy volunteered and succeeded in delivering the message through intense shell fire, returning with the reply and aiding three wounded infantrymen en route. Later, with another officer, he went through heavy enemy shell and machine-gun fire and carried to shelter two wounded Frenchmen.
