The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Nick Adler, Wagoner, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near St. Gilles, south of Fismes, France, August 8 – 20, 1918. Through the operations near the Vesle River, covering a period of 12 days, Wagoner Adler delivered hot meals to the firing battery at great personal risk due to enemy shell fire. The battery position and all roads leading to them were subject to frequent enemy fire, but this soldier on every occasion delivered the meals to the battery without delay.
