Delancy King

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Delancy King, First Lieutenant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Ronssoy, France, September 29, 1918. Lieutenant King was wounded early in the engagement but he continued to load his men until he received a second wound. His gallantry under shell and machine-gun fire and his disregard for his own safety furnished a splendid example to all ranks.
