The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Fred A. Renick, Private First Class, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Beauvois, France, on April 4, 1918. Private First Class Renick was ordered to drive his ambulance to a dressing station. The road over which it was necessary to pass was under continuous shell fire. On his way to the dressing station he received a slight wound. In spite of the wound, which was dressed at a dressing station, he resumed his post, and on the return trip a shell struck his car, seriously wounding him and killing his passenger.
