General Orders No. 68, W.D., 1920
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Eugene C. Reynolds, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action at Quinnemont Farm, near Ronssoy, France, September 28, 1918. After assisting in repulsing a strong enemy counterattack, Private Reynolds, with two other soldiers, became separated from his company, due to the heavy fog. Seeing a superior force of the enemy in a trench, they unhesitatingly attacked, and after killing and wounding several of the enemy, they captured numerous prisoners and brought them back to our lines.
