The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Richard L. McMunn, Second Lieutenant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Chateau-et-Ferme-de-Aulnois, France, November 7, 1918. Leading his platoon against a strong machine-gun emplacement, Lieutenant McMunn cut his way through two bands of barbed wire and succeeded in reaching the stronghold.
