The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Harry T. Schooley, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Grand Pre, France, October 25, 1918. After his platoon had fallen back under heavy shell fire, Corporal Schooley made a personal reconnaissance of an enemy machine-gun nest through a heavy barrage, killed one of the enemy gunners and drove off the others with hand grenades, thereby enabling his platoon to resume its position.
