The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Peter Deloto, Sergeant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Grand Pre, France, October 25, 1918. During the attack Sergeant Deloto single-handed captured eight prisoners, and later aided materially in the capture of 16 more. When his company had been held up by the fire of a machine-gun, he set out, unassisted, and succeeded in capturing it, during which exploit he was wounded in the leg.
