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 Clifford N. Brady (ASN: 2805988), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Company K, 357th Infantry Regiment, 90th Division, American Expeditionary Forces, near Bantheville, France, October 23 – 24, 1918. On many occasions, while his battalion was holding a position, Private Brady crawled far in advance of the outposts and with glasses and compass located enemy machine-gun positions. His work was done under most hazardous conditions and heaviest fire, but he succeeded after all other attempts had proved fatal.
