General Orders No. 23, W.D., 1919
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Clarence A. Davis, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Cote-de-Chatillon, France, October 4, 1918. During the attack Corporal Davis made his way forward through intense artillery and machine-gun fire to rescue a wounded comrade. When he had reached a point about 25 yards in front of the enemy trenches he found that the man was dead, and he, himself, so seriously wounded that he was compelled to return.
