General Orders No. 32, W.D., 1919
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Clifford E. Bischoff, First Lieutenant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Juvigny, France, August 29, and September 2, 1918. Rendered unconscious by a bursting shell, which wounded his company commander, Lieutenant Bischoff took command of his company as soon as he regained consciousness and later assumed command of the battalion when the battalion commander was gassed. After being relieved of command he went forward on a reconnaissance with one soldier and the two of them alone captured 75 of the enemy.
