General Orders No. 37, W.D., 1919
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Joe C. May, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Montigny-devant-Sassey, France, November 5, 1918. During a very heavy attack in the vicinity of his post, where artillery fire and aircraft machine-gun fire had created a most confusing situation, Corporal May calmly directed traffic, aided wounded, and removed obstructions, thereby preventing wild disorder. He assisted the drivers of ammunition trucks in getting their machines to a place of safety.
