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 George “H” Ammons (ASN: 1378745), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Battery A, 124th Field Artillery, 33d Division, American Expeditionary Forces, near Remonville, France, 31 October 1918. While in charge of the limbers and horses of a platoon sent to the front line infantry trenches, Sergeant Ammons, although himself wounded, took the place of a driver who had fallen from his horse. He refused medical attention until all the pieces were in position and the limbers and horses taken to a place of safety.
