The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Patrick Garrity, Private First Class, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Remonville, France, November 1, 1918. When his company was advancing across an open field an enemy machine gun opened fire upon it from the left front. Private Garrity and two other soldiers being on that flank of the company, immediately advanced alone at a run and with his bayonet drove the three Germans from their guns into a nearby dugout, captured them and the gun.
