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 First Lieutenant (Infantry) Daniel Brendon Carroll, United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with 364th Infantry Regiment, 91st Division, American Expeditionary Forces, near Bois-de-Cheppy, France, 28 September 1918. Although wounded in the arm in the attack of 26 September Lieutenant Carroll gallantly led his platoon forward, under heavy artillery and machine-gun fire, through the Bois-de-Cheppy. Later, while leading his platoon in an attack near Neuve Grange Farm, he continued on until severely wounded a second time.
