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 Lieutenant of Cavalry D’escayarac M. De Boulancy, Army of France, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Cavalry near Binarville, France, 27 September 1918. During a raid on an enemy ammunition depot Lieutenant De Boulancy proved of the greatest assistance and value, and the success of the exploit was wholly due to his bravery and efficiency. He tirelessly explored the front on different occasions, and the information that he furnished our officers regarding hidden machine-gun nests proved to be of the utmost importance and value.
