George W. Condit

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to George W. Condit, Private First Class, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Barricourt, France, November 2 – 3, 1918. Undeterred by seeing another man killed in attempting to reach a wounded soldier, who was lying in the open 100 yards from a wood, Private Condit fearlessly exposed himself to fire from enemy snipers and machine guns, and succeeded in carrying the wounded soldier to shelter. Throughout the attack of November 2-3, Private Condit worked under severe machine- gun fire without cover, in dressing wounds after all other first-aid men had become casualties.
