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 Bart Lee Shadrick (ASN: 2218529), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Company E, 357th Infantry Regiment, 90th Division, American Expeditionary Forces, near Fey-en-Haye, France, 12 September 1918. When a part of his company was held up by machine-gun fire Private Shadrick, with the aid of two others, flanked two machine-guns, killed the gunners, and captured the guns, thereby allowing the company to advance without delay or losses. Later on in the same advance he crept up to a German machine-gun emplacement, rolled over the parapet onto the gun crew, putting gun and gunners out of action.
