General Orders No. 44, W.D., 1919
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Harry B. Clementson, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Carefour-de-Meurrissons, France, September 27, 1918. After his company had taken shelter from the enfilading machine-gun and trench-mortar fire, Private Clementson, accompanied by two other soldiers, crawled out, in the face of a machine- gun barrage, to the aid of wounded comrades, thus saving the lives of at least two of his companions.
