The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Earl Lamb, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Consenvoye, France, October 9, 1918. When the advance of his platoon was stopped by an enemy machine-gun, Corporal Lamb charged the gun from the flank, wounded one of the gunners, and captured the other two members of the gun crew, together with the gun. Remaining in an advanced position under fire throughout the day, he used the captured machine-gun in breaking up an enemy counterattack.
