The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to George F. Curry, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Moulins, France, July 15, 1918. Private Curry voluntarily took up an abandoned automatic rifle and with one man moved to an exposed flank and opened a continuous harassing fire on the advancing enemy. Although exposed to direct fire, Private Curry kept his gun in action until an Infantry platoon could take up a better defensive position.
