    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 Frank M. Bremner (ASN: 2061802), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Company G, 131st Infantry Regiment, 33d Division, American Expeditionary Forces, near Chipilly Ridge, France, 9 August 1918. When an enemy machine-gun was holding up our advance, he worked out alone in advance of our front lines, and getting in rear of the hostile position, captured the enemy gun and its crew. While advancing, Private Bremner showed utter disregard of the heavy artillery and machine-gun fire to which he was subjected.
