The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Thomas Hunt, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Cote-de- Chatillon, France, October 14, 1918. Although painfully wounded in the chest, Corporal Hunt refused to be evacuated, and remained in command of his squad through two days of hard fighting thereafter. In so doing, Corporal Hunt set a splendid example of courage and devotion to duty to the other members of the command.
