Clifford C. Kidd

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Clifford C. Kidd, Private First Class, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Remonville, France, November 1, 1918. Private Kidd displayed exceptional bravery in carrying his machine gun through heavy fire ahead of the infantry front line to a point only thirty yards from six enemy machine guns which defended a hill. Despite the intense grenade and machine-gun fire which was directed at him, he maintained such effective fire that the hostile guns were put out of action and the infantry advance thereupon resumed.
