    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 First Class Harold S. Clark (ASN: 2952), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Medical Detachment, 104th Infantry Regiment (Attached), 26th Division, American Expeditionary Forces, near Belleau and Givry, France, July 18 – 21, 1918. While a member of the medical detachment, Private Clark exhibited rare courage and devotion to duty, repeatedly exposing himself to a concentration of hostile machine-gun fire while applying first aid and carrying wounded men from the front lines to the dressing stations. His complete disregard for his own safety and his devotion to his comrades greatly inspired the men of his battalion.
