The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Aubrey B. De Lacy, First Lieutenant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Haumont, France, September 27, 1918. Leading a patrol into the town to ascertain whether or not it was still occupied by the enemy, Lieutenant De Lacy came under heavy machine-gun fire. Against greatly superior numbers he continued forward and, entering the town, took two prisoners, from whom he gained valuable information.
