The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Georges Goumas, Private First Class, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Fleville, France, October 21, 1918.

After assisting the other wounded men to a truck near by, he returned through the falling shells to the relay station and assisted another soldier in repairing the wire, which had been cut, remaining at his post until he had made sure that the lines were in good condition and he was ordered to come in by his commanding officer.
