Michael P. Mccarthy

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Michael P. McCarthy, Sergeant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Butgneville, France, November 11, 1918. When violent machine-gun fire had forced his company to take shelter, Sergeant McCarthy, with another soldier, braved the direct and short-range fire, by voluntarily going forward and rescuing a wounded officer, carrying him back to a place of safety.
