The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to John Grundy, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Tuilerie Farm, France, November 1, 1918. Private Grundy made his way through heavy shell and machine-gun fire to his lieutenant, who had been seriously wounded, and dressed his wounds. He later rendered excellent service by keeping liaison between the platoons of his company while they were under severe machine-gun and shell fire. He continued to render valuable service in this way until wounded.
