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 Corporal [then Private] Anthony M. Wallace (ASN: 2383465), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Company E, 60th Infantry Regiment, 5th Division, American Expeditionary Forces, near Cunel, France, 14 October 1918. After his company had been held up by terrific machine-gun fire, while advancing on Cunel, Corporal Wallace, with another soldier, went forward in the face of the annihilating fire, and, by flanking the strong-point, succeeded in capturing three prisoners and two guns.
