Michael J. Mcauliffe

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Michael J. McAuliffe, Sergeant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Landres-et-St. Georges, France, October 15, 1918. Volunteering for the missions, Sergeant McAuliffe exposed himself in the open to heavy shell and machine- gun fire, to obtain ammunition for his company, after all on hand had been exhausted. He made repeated trips over the battlefield, gathering ammunition from the bodies of the dead, until his entire company had been supplied.
