Daniel S. Flagg

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Daniel S. Flagg, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Meuse, Argonne, France, September 26, 1918. With three other soldiers Private Flagg crawled across an open field, subjected to heavy machine-gun and artillery fire, for 200 yards, to flank three enemy emplacements which were holding up the advance. This volunteer patrol captured the machine-gun positions, killing seven and capturing 23 of the enemy.
