General Orders No. No. 108, W.D., 1918
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to George R. Boustead, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action in France. Corporal Boustead distinguished himself northeast of Chateau-Thierry, France, on July 28, 1918, when, as the leader of a squad of four men, he raided an enemy machine-gun nest held by twelve Germans. As a result of this daring work one of the enemy was killed, the other eleven captured, and their four machine guns turned upon the retreating foe.
