The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross to Sergeant Harry C. Clark (ASN: 1285262), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Company G, 115th Infantry Regiment, 29th Division, American Expeditionary Forces, in the Bois-de-Montagne, France, 15 October 1918. Sergeant Clark remained for two days by himself in a sniper’s post in advance of the front line, killing 12 enemy scouts. When all of the officers of his company had been incapacitated this soldier took command and steadied his men by his own coolness and courage. He remained on duty until he was wounded while leading a combat liaison patrol.
