George G. Mcdonald

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to George G. McDonald, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Grand Pre, France, November 1, 1918. While accompanying a separated detachment Corporal McDonald voluntarily entered a dense woods, infested with snipers and machine-guns, to locate the main body of his company. The success of this mission enabled the lost detachment to occupy their position with the company. During the entire action of his company, Corporal McDonald was forever eager, in his capacity as runner, to assume the most hazardous risks to maintain liaison between units.
