General Orders No. 44, W.D., 1919
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Sherman G. Harriman, Second Lieutenant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Crezancy, France, July 15 – 16, 1918. Assisting in the removal of the wounded, Lieutenant Harriman, then sergeant, drove an ambulance throughout the entire night, continuing until several hits by the enemy completely disabled his machine. The next morning he led his men into the trenches through an intense shelling and remained in command for 12 hours after being wounded.
