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 Sergeant Curtis Mack Crisp (ASN: 1383886), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Company F, 130th Infantry Regiment, 33d Division, American Expeditionary Forces, at Marcheville, France, 10 November 1918. When all the company runners had been wounded during a raid by his battalion, Sergeant Crisp volunteered to establish liaison with an adjacent company. While going through a heavy barrage under sniper fire from three directions he was knocked unconscious by the concussion of a bursting shell. Upon recovering he succeeded in killing a sniper who was picking off our men and had wounded his company commander. Though unable to stand, Sergeant Crisp insisted on remaining on duty with his company.
