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 Private Daniel L. Jack (ASN: 3449673), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Company F, 362d Infantry Regiment, 91st Division, American Expeditionary Forces, near the Scheldt River, Belgium, 31 October 1918. When the advance of the front line was held up by fire from a machine-gun nest 300 yards to the front, Private Jack, with two others, crossed the open field in the face of fire from enemy artillery, machine-guns, and snipers. Charging the nest, they killed two of the crew, wounded two others, and captured five, together with the gun.
