Christie F. Mccormick

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Christie F. McCormick, Captain, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Consenvoye, France, October 9, 1918. Surrounded by the enemy and unable to communicate with the rest of his regiment, Captain McCormick, with only five men, maintained an advanced position against a counter-attack by picked enemy storm troops, remaining in this perilous place throughout the night under terrific fire of enemy artillery and machine guns until the arrival of supporting troops next day.
