General Orders No. 15, W.D., 1919
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Joseph J. Sullivan, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Gesnes, France, September 29, 1918. Observing that the left flank of the regimental line was unprotected, Corporal Sullivan voluntarily took out a combat patrol and while so doing encountered three machine guns, which were employing effective enfilade fire. Boldly advancing on this position he silenced the guns.
