The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pride in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross (Posthumously) to Corporal Guy K. Davis (ASN: 2853890), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Company F, 359th Infantry Regiment, 90th Division, American Expeditionary Forces, near Villers-devant-Dun, France, 2 November 1918. After his platoon sergeant had become a casualty he assumed command and led his men with marked personal bravery and skill, advancing under fire until he was mortally wounded. His example inspired his men with his own fighting spirit.
