The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Daniel C. McAuliffe, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action in the Argonne Forest, France, October 4, 1918. Leading his squad on enemy machine-gun nests which had been inflicting severe casualties on his platoon, Corporal McAuliffe opened an effective bombing attack on the nests; and, although severely wounded, he remained in command until the strong point was reduced.
