The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Clifford, M. Seiders, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Malancourt, France, September 26, 1918. Advancing ahead of his platoon in the face of heavy machine-gun fire, Private Seiders entered alone a ruined building, and discovered 13 of the enemy. He shot one who resisted capture and made prisoners of the remaining twelve, bringing in with him three light machine guns. Later in the same day, he captured ten of the enemy and five machine guns.
