Alfred B. Maury

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Alfred B. Maury, Second Lieutenant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near l’Arbre- de-Guise, France, October. 17, 1918. Although his motor was running poorly and his tank crew badly gassed, Lieutenant Maury captured a German battery with his gun crews and turned them over to the infantry. A little later his motor stopped completely, but he soon located another tank whose crew was badly gassed. He transferred his ammunition and crew to the new tank and continued in the advance of our infantry to the objective.
