General Orders No. 20, W.D., 1919
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Clem Anthony, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Juvigny, north of Soissons, France, August 30, 1918. When a retirement had been ordered, Private Anthony was the last to leave his post, fearlessly exposing himself to fire from machine guns and snipers to bring in a wounded soldier, together with his automatic rifle and ammunition. Throughout the engagement, his conduct under fire furnished an example of coolness and courage to his comrades.
