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 Private John Grundy (ASN: 3357714), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Company K, 9th Infantry Regiment, 2d Division, American Expeditionary Forces, near Tuilerie Farm, France, 1 November 1918. Private Grundy made his way through heavy shell and machine-gun fire to his lieutenant, who had been seriously wounded, and dressed his wounds. He later rendered excellent service by keeping liaison between the platoons of his company while they were under severe machine-gun and shell fire. He continued to render valuable service in this way until wounded.
