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 Captain (Corps of Engineers) C. Raymond Hulsart, United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with 11th Railway Engineers, American Expeditionary Forces, at Gouzeaucourt, France, 30 November 1917. When an unarmed working party under his command were subjected to a sudden German attack, Captain Hulsart displayed extraordinary heroism in going through heavy shell fire to direct the escape of his men, remaining under fire until all had left, and going back into the barrage to assist in carrying a wounded soldier of another unit, and returning into the barrage a second time to search for a wounded British soldier.
