The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Clyde A. Fritz, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Soissons, France, July 18, 1918. Corporal Fritz accompanied a party of 10 men which attacked a ravine infested with enemy machine-gun nests. During the exploit all except Corporal Fritz and one comrade were killed or wounded, but they succeeded in silencing enough guns to make further advance possible.
