The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Earl Wallace Bailey, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Jaulgonne, France, July 22, 1918. Private Bailey crawled forward through severe machine-gun and rifle fire and killed two members of an enemy machine- gun crew. He immediately turned the captured gun around and with it opened an effective fire on the enemy, thus enabling a company of infantry to advance.
