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 Sergeant Frederick Wilhelm Galoff (ASN: 284404), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Company H, 128th Infantry Regiment, 32d Division, American Expeditionary Forces, in the vicinity of Breheville and Ecurey, northwest of Verdun, France, November 5 – 11, 1918. Sergeant Galoff displayed remarkable leadership and courage in keeping the men together and calm under the terrific enemy artillery and machine-gun fire during the attack on 10 November 1918. Although gassed and exhausted, he refused to go to the rear for medical treatment and remained with the company, assisting in giving first aid to the wounded and arranging for their evacuation, disregarding personal danger and displaying a fine spirit of sacrifice.
