The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to David B. Hunt, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action at Bourbelin, France, July 16, 1918. When an artillery barrage was laid down on the section of which he was a member, killing three and wounding five, including the section sergeant and corporal, Corporal Hunt, severely wounded himself, carried the sergeant to the first-aid station, returned to his post through the barrage, assumed leadership of the section, and successfully directed their operations until he fell from exhaustion.
