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 Irving Earl Wolfe (ASN: 1659465), 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. Volunteering to serve on a patrol for the purpose of capturing prisoners, Private Wolfe crawled forward to a sentry post 25 yards from the enemy lines. Overpowering two sentries, he started back under a heavy barrage of rifle grenades and rifle fire, and, ignoring his great danger, he successfully delivered his prisoners to the battalion commander.
