General Orders No. 21, W.D., 1919
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Harry E. Garber, Private First Class, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Montauville, France, October 24, 1918. When an enemy shell set fire to the powder dump of his battery, Private Garber crossed a shell-swept area to warn his companions of the danger from the threatened explosion of the dump. He then re-crossed the shelled area to notify his officers of the conflagration and returned to the burning dump to assist in saving some of the powder.
