U.S. Army
General Orders No. No. 128, W.D., 1918
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Bart L. Shadrick, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Fey-en-Haye, France, September 12, 1918. When a part of his company was held up by machine-gun fire Private Shadrick, with the aid of two others, flanked two machine- guns, killed the gunners, and captured the guns, thereby allowing the company to advance without delay or losses. Later on in the same advance he crept up to a German machine- gun emplacement, rolled over the parapet onto the gun crew, putting gun and gunners out of action.
