The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Edward Barry, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Bois-du- Barricourt, France, November 1, 1918. After receiving a dangerous wound in the chest from a shell fragment, Corporal Barry insisted in going forward with his combat group. He pushed forward through the intense machine-gun fire until again hit by a machine-gun bullet, which caused his death.
