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 James H. Quinn (ASN: 1709548), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Company I, 308th Infantry Regiment, 77th Division, American Expeditionary Forces, near Revillon, France, 10 September 1918. Sergeant Quinn volunteered and accompanied a patrol, which was sent out for the purpose of capturing prisoners. Crawling through “No Man’s Land,” he came upon two Germans occupying an outpost. In the struggle that ensued the enemy was overpowered, but the exploit brought forth a destructive fire of rifles and rifle grenades from the enemy, through which Sergeant Quinn successfully maneuvered back to his lines, bringing his captives with him.
