The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Fred C. Dulevitz, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Verdun, France, October 23 – 27, 1918. When it became vitally important to get a message to the battalion commander, Private Dulevitz volunteered for the mission, knowing that it was necessary to pass through a terrific enemy barrage. Shortly after starting on his mission, and while passing through the murderous fire, he was instantly killed.
