The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Raymond W. Riley, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Soissons, France, July 19, 1918. Private Riley showed absolute disregard for the safety of his own life by advancing upon a machine-gun which was holding up his platoon, and finally putting it out of action after being wounded himself.
