The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Edmund C. La Buhn, Second Lieutenant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Brabant, France, October 8 – 9, 1918. Becoming detached from his regular organization on October 8, Lieutenant LaBuhn, accompanied by five soldiers, attached himself to another company and voluntarily took part in the offensive operations. Leading his men, he charged a machine-gun nest and captured several guns and four prisoners. He continued in action with this company until wounded on October 9, 1918.
