General Orders No. 59, W.D., 1919
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to George F. Schultz, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Sedan, France, November 7, 1918. While accompanying his company as Liaison Agent in the advance, Private Schultz attacked, single-handed, a machine-gun nest which was delivering a heavy fire, killing the gunner, and caused many other casualties among the enemy. His act also caused other enemy machine-gunners to withdraw, and saved his company from a very dangerous flanking fire.
